Oprah featured a rather unsurpriising episode the other day. unsurprising because, knowing O Show, it has always been successful in leaving to the audience an impactful message. it was all about the different faces of mothers around the world. What particularly moved me were stories of African mothers who were effortlessly inspirng. A Sudan mother, for one, is a mom of fifty (50) African children - most, if not all, are HIV positive. Despite personal struggles of poverty, she still took the courage of adopting tese children she calls her own. I just can't imagine how beatiful the Philippines would be as a nation should we all have the same 'emotional mentality'.

Speaking of HIV-AIDS, we are cosidering it an advocacy campaign topic for second semester (for FEU Tamaraw Volunteers' Chamber on Health Services). Ate Grace, who is involved with the Victory Christian Fellowship U-Belt, is pushy about the idea. We are yet to discuss though for planning and discussion.

The other night, Arvin, Mina and I saw one of our students in the TAMVOL - Kalsadaskwela Project, Kevin, in a very unholy hour in Malate. We could not help but purchase the roses he was selling. It was 4:00am then. I felt a pinch in me which made me consider reviving our tutorial project at Rajah Solayman.
