Later, members of the WhoWeAreInstead (Philippine-based community of Jars of Clay fans), with assistance from Alay Pag-Asa, are going to party with kids from an urban poor community in Mandaluyong. There's going to be gift-giving, games, snacks, singing and definitely lots of laughter. Plus a surprise appearance of the Pirates (members of Black Pearl Philippines, to which I also belong). I'll be dressed as a pirate and I'll host the program together with fellow WWAI member and friend, Fer. This is gonna rock!
I love partying with kids, especially with those who'd benefit from it more than others. They make me feel good about being able to actually do something to make other people happy, for a change.They help me forget about my own selfish concerns. Simply put, I learn to be a person for the world, not just for my self. Oh, to see the world again in the eyes of a child!
Kudos to my friends from WhoWeAreInstead for organizing this event. You guys remind me to always have hope in humanity. You help me see that when one's life is touched by God's hands, one can't help but spread the sunshine around. That there's always enough for everybody.
For now I gotta catch some Zzzz's, or the kids will have a zombie for a host. I'm so excited!!!
