Phillip

This is Phillip (telling Dane something). Phillip is the bomb. He's the nicest man I have possibly ever met and he gets things done. He's the acting director of Child of Hope, the NGO that we've been doing a lot of work with these past few weeks and he's been so great to show us around, invite us in, and respect us and our opinions, even though we're just college kids. He knows everyone in the slum where he works, he's a pastor for his church, and he's the director of welfare for Child of Hope when the directors are not in England fundraising. Even though he has a million things to do, he always makes time to talk to people. One time when he was showing us around Dane (the other volunteer I'm working with) expressed interest in an instrument this guy was holding. So Phillip stopped the kid and asked him if he'd made it, how much it cost, and how he could get them. Basically he's legit and I'm glad to be working with him.

I'm sad because I had a better picture of him (one where you can actually see his face) but this computer isn't recognizing it. Oh well.

P.S. I love how many things are going on in this picture. Phillip is telling Dane something that Dane's writing down. You can see the little kid peeking out from under Dane's notebook, and there's Devin in the background playing with all of those kids. I'm such a good photographer. ;)
