Recently, with Lisa & LetLet
Dec. 19, 2005: Cebu Philippines
I love this image of the sisters ("...I think today, LetLet is SHY - and Lisa is BORED...")
Dispite their poverty, they're always happy - laughing & playing always together; they're very close & nearly inseparable.
I very much would like to be able to have the funds to organize a small shopping trip for them when I get there in Nov. 2006, to get them some new clothes, as I did for Rosa & Edison in Manila on Dec. 16, 2005
see Rosa & the clothing we got her through donations in Dec. 2005
Both sisters are now in school in Cebu, and they are in need of basic school clothing & supplies.
...as with Rosa & Edison, Lisa & LetLet have to wear old hand-me-down clothing that belonged to their now older sisters, and much of their clothing is in serious need of repair (their Mama, Milagros does her very best to keep their clothes very clean & sewn)
Please email me if you would like to help me with this, or to donate.
Many Thanks to you all for taking the time to read about Lisa, LetLet & their Family.

Hi Steve,
It's Paul James from Project Rice - thanks for your comment above.
To answer your question on what you can personally do to help with the clothing needs of Lisa & LetLet's Family - you can do one of two things:
You can make a donation with your major credit card through PayPal, by clicking on the 'donate' button on the main page's upper right corner.
(you can also specify that donation goes to the Family's clothing needs in your PayPal)
Or you can purchase the clothing yourself, collect clean, presentable used clothing appropriate for their ages from friends & Family - and ship it directly to the place I'll be staying in, when I arrive in Cebu in late November 2006 (I'll email you the address - so please check your email)
Whatever you choose to do, I thank you in advance - and I always make it a point to tell Lisa & LetLet's Family about the people who are trying to help them from pRICE & pBase.com
Best Regards,
PJAMES
