The charity has just opened it's second school, provides a feeding programme, health-care, churches, adult literacy classes, livelihood programmes for the families, building projects and a child sponsorship scheme. (For more information see p-c-f.org)
Taking over from Jane will be a real challenge for us, she was granted an MBE in 2008 and made Woman of the Year in 2009 for her work with the people on the dumps, but she now wants to concentrate on fund-raising in the UK and has asked us to take over in Manila. We will be heading up a team of 90 people who work in the various projects and are looking forward to getting to know all of them and seeing the projects for ourselves.
Whilst it seems at the moment an impossible task we are encouraged by PCF's achievements in 2010 and with God's help and your prayers our aim is to build on that -
1009 PCF students at school
36 PCF college students
356 PCF parents earning
657 children fed twice a day
200 children, elderly and pregnant mothers fed once a day
18,000 people received medical help
440 new homes built
4 toilet blocks built for 1500 people
We have quoted below the Mission statement and Vision of PCF and pray that we can keep this at the heart of everything we do.
We hope to update this blog every couple of weeks and would love you to pray for us, we will let you know of any particular prayer needs we have.
Prayer points
- That the arrangements that need to be made prior to leaving the UK will all happen smoothly
- That the visas will be issued in time

Love and blessings
