foster daughters

For the 2nd time, we will be joining again the SSEAYP ( SHIP FOR SOUTHEAST ASIAN YOUTH PROGRAM). This is a a cultural exchange program among the youth in the ASEAN member countries and Japan that seeks to promote goodwill and understanding. This is an opportunity for the PY (Participating Youth) to gain first hand experience on how it is to live in a typical ASEAN COUNTRY, in our case, FILIPINO home. The National Youth Commission is responsible in scouting prospective host families here in our country. Each family hosts 2 PY'S of the same gender.

Our first hosting was 2005 and we weren't able to join the 2006 and 2007 program coz of our busy sked. Our first foster daughters came from indonesia and brunei and we still communicate up to now. Since hubby and I are not that old, we were more of foster sisters than daughters........aneh who came from brunei even took time to visit us last 2006 when she made a coverage here.... and vira from indonesia, was able to meet up hubby when he went to indonesia last year......

Hubby and I really adore this program........it gives us a chance to showcase our hospitality at its best.

On December 3, we are excited to meet and pick up our PY'S...this time coming from vietnam and brunei once more.....will keep you posted.

by the way, you can check the program here for more info.

Will check the old pics so i can share it with you

Dearest Raha, It's been a year....and time is really flying so fast...I really do not know what to say...coz until now, I do not know how to thank God for the "blessing" He have given us. It was after 9 years that I have felt the same feeling when I first got hold of your Ate Tala and Ate Mayumi... .feeling you inside me (and you made it sure that I felt you though you were such so tiny then)  was just magical! hearing your cry was just so fantastic (as if it was a sweet melody)... ......feeling you wanting my breast was so lovely..... and it was that feeling that I was longing for 9 years! Your Tatay, Ate Tala, Ate Mayumi  and I didn't ask the Lord for someone......we prayed, I prayed.....thanking Him for another opportunity of bringing into this world a blessing from Him....whether you are a he or she, doesn't matter, I told Him. When my doctor told me  that you're a boy...I cried...because I knew then, that you
