Executive Elf Turner here. Christmas is rapidly approaching and we are deep in the Christmas magic making weeds by trying to figure out how to help as many communities as possible. Last weekend we visited the community of Tuno, a community up in the mountains that is a 2 hour drive from Boracay. My elf army went with the Red Cross and some other helpers to survey the situation.
All packed up with housing supplies…we are ready to go
After a 3 hour journey, we stopped just before the town of Tuno to prep the relief goods.
We find a new member to add to our Santa relief army
…who apparently likes Cheetos
Some anxious and excited kids greeted us on arrival
a bit nervous
a bit more on the curious side
Red Cross did what they do best, and got to work with medical check ups
They need even more of this
the Doctor is in
And kids still wait patiently
They didn’t know someone special was on the way…no, not me, the other fat guy
This is how Santa rolls in the Philippines
the Man of the hour
excited for the big guy
He needs an army to make a list
Santa took some notes, but needs some cash-ola to get the job done for this many kids
This little guy couldn’t wait to get home with this supplies to rebuild his family’s home…he forded the river in the buff
