May 04, 2010 Meeting
Mel K. left San Fernando, La Union on the dawn of May 03, 2010, and after almost twenty (20) hours of bus ride, she reached Legazpi on May 04, 2010, at 07:00 am. The first step was to visit the Crisostomo of Pawa, Mrs. Nerlita Crisostomo and daughter Jo Ana, project caretakers since 2006.
Mel K. was able to get the donation from Fam. Fester from Banco De Oro. At 09:00 o'clock, everyone was present at Dunkin' Donuts, where the Friends of Germany members meet and greet each other over a cup of chocolate and a donut. It has become a tradition starting the meeting with a Donut Snack.
Maribel and Rosemarie Nacor took some days off to join the rest of the group - Margie, Marites and Michael. There were a lot of stories to tell since Mel K. was not there for three (3) long years. The kids have grown up. Everyone looked happy except for Marites, who was consistently reminded by the group to speak, to laugh and to smile.
After the snack, the group went to Ely's Studio for the group picture taking, then strolled along the Sea Wall Park and Boulevard in Legazpi City Port. Bonding time for the members. Everyone spoke with each other. The children were laughing and talking to each other.
After the walk, the group went to Boklan Restaurant for some rice, vegetables and noodles. Shopping for school supplies and other things came next and again, it was time to say goodbye to each other. The same day, Mel K. left Legazpi to San Fernando, La Union for another twenty (20) hours of bus drive.
The group is thanking Fam. Fester, Fam. Klingler, Frau Hessenauer and Frau Mehringer for their untiring support. Without their help to Mel, the latter will not be able to continue the financial support to Margie, Michael and Marites.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you very much!
