my mother, my teacher

I was the oldest of 3 girls.

my first teacher. my mother.

she taught for 35 years.

she was strict.  very.

supported  me to do more. do well.

after all these years, she still got it.

Let's start from the basics.  
FLAG girls were so attentive.  She still got it!!

We don't have blackboard at the moment. We will have soon, Thanks to our lovely donors!!

Say 'Ahh'
She was pooped after just a few minutes. Why she retired her ' teacher's stick' over a year ago
her students have not forgotten about her. even to this day.

they would approached her on the street. she doesn't recognize them.

but they do.

 
although my mom was not with me during the important years of my life.
 
 
there's still a lot of lessons I have learned from her.
 
i am still learning. she is still teaching.
 
this time it's just me. 

Thank you for stopping by,



Hugs,

His purpose- driven life

You are always looking at the horizon

 i know what you are thinking

" what more can I do to help the girls"

You have done more than any man I know..

You don't have a lot of followers.. and believers..that's okay.

Our boys and I believe in you..and that's all that matters..


You are brave, strong and unstoppable when it comes to your mission..

No one thought you can do it and still don't believe..

You can't stop now.. you have only just begun.

Happy Birthday to my best friend!


Thanks for stopping by,

Hugs,

doctors without borders

Our first medical mission for all the girls at FLAG. Thanks to our own guardian angels (they do exist!)


Here they are donating their time to conduct the check-ups for both medical and dental.  All of them very seldom (or not at all) visit a doctor.  Imagine your children not seeing one since the day they were born. 

Results: enlarged lymph nodes, underweight and allergies. ALL of them. They need chest x-rays and fast!

Vitamins and supplements are what we need for now to at least boost their metabolism. Iron, Vitamin C, Vitamin D anything! We are now in a serious crisis. 


4 to 6 tooth extractions per child. Permanent teeth most of them are gone! Solution, dentures?? or just go by living without your molars. How would you chew your food?

Dr Marion Sanchez, (on my right) and Dr Thess Venturina
Angelica , open wide!


I knew they needed medical check-ups but didn't realize how sick they are.  I need help and soon.

NOW!

Thank you for stopping by,


Hugs,

Monica
