Our “Dinner For A Cause… A Serenade” has been moved to October 1, 6pm – 9pm. This will be held at the function hall next to Baguio Cathedral (above the Kinder Care). We are hoping to use the event to provide chaplain training (CPE) scholarships for clergy and seminarians of limited financial means. Feel free to contact us at info@bukallife.org for more information.

Blogsite Update
Finally updated our blogsite to be up-to-date with our counseling center organization. Check out the pages on this blog.
Comdev Class completed
The 3-day “Church-based Community Development” class completed today with 19 finishing the course. It is introductory in nature but covered many of the major aspects of the theory and practice of church-based COMDEV. Bob Munson led the training, supported by the technical expertise of Rene Gabaldon and Gerry Escobar. Flor Salas did a wonderful job caring for the lunches and meriendas. It is hoped that this training will lead to COMDEV projects sprouting up in multiple communities.

Completed Mission in Macabebe

Wonderful time in Macabebe. Two medical missions there April 10-11. The first was at the Colis house in Saplad-David. The second was on the island of Pulo, hosted by Celia Munson’s family there. Between the two small communities, we treated nearly 400 people. We hope to develop long-term relationships with these two communities for transformational development.
