Dress Distribution #54 - Children of Malabon Manila (c-o Norie Bordador) Parcel 1a

I must have labelled the plastic bags with wrong months as I noticed while sorting that I have dresses received in the earlier months of the year 2013 and no longer have those received between May to August. Tsk...tsk..

Anyway, this is Parcel #1 of 3 for the Children of Malabon, Manila again c-o Norie Bordador. It is a parcel of 49 dresses, 18 sets of t-shirts and pairs of shorts, 22 headscarves and other hair accessories and 50 mini bags. The distribution which has been organized by Norie and with the help of other group of volunteers and with the assistance of Sr Ma Rosalina Luzon, the MCJ Coordinator will be made at Sto Nino Chapel and Mission Center in Malabon City. I think the two parcels that left over the weekend for Navotas will also be coordinated by Sr Ma Rosalina Luzon. I am just very lucky that I can find volunteers who can do distributions on my behalf and can really see that the dresses end up with the children in need. Makes my work very worthwhile although not easy as other people would think.
