    Making Do in the Airport

    My daughter snapped this pic at an airport in the Philippines, its at the departure gate in Cebu city I think. It looks like Dad found some sort of stuff to make a hammock out of for his little boy so he didn't have to sleep on concrete. My daughter has been to several bad disasters before but said this was like the apocalypse. A lot of places just blew away period, not even that much debris. No trees left standing except some battered palms. She was there delivering supplies and tents.

    That's a touching picture...says a thousand words. Amidst all that mess and confusion his little boy is resting soundly while daddy keeps a watchful eye.

    Could we as a group donate some inexpensive DIY hammocks, tarps, rigging?

    Beautiful heart! She must have learned that by example. Thank you for helping my country.
    I'm not asleep... but that doesn't mean I'm awake.
