Jeepney Man

                This story has more questions than answers.                 It was my birthday. Two people from my team needed to go to the mall to get a few things. I decided to go along and treat myself to ice cream for my birthday. They got what they needed, I got Dairy Queen, and we traveled home. We rode back in a Jeepney, a public transportation vehicle that holds roughly 16 passengers facing each other on two benches that run parallel to the road....

In a brief summary of recent activities, the Filipino workers left for a two day retreat. Leaving my team and a few World Race teams in charge of an orphanage of 30ish children. Oh and they don’t have school. These 30...
