Where there are hungry children in the Philippines, there’s no mountain high enough, no valley low enough, no river wide enough to keep Mingo from getting to empty stomachs to nourish and sustain.

Thank you Cathee Daguia for the 297 pairs of Love Fits slippers that you gifted these children thanks to the Facebook birthday fundraiser you set up a few months ago.
