“I have a brother    
When I'm a brother in need    
                     I spend my whole time running    
                     He spends his running after me.   
                      I feel myself goin' down    
                     I just call and he comes around.   
                     But for the first time I feel love.”

U2, THE FIRST TIME
  OUTREACH: DUMAGATS OF DINGALAN (2000)
                   
             

Our van loaded with gifts and goodwill

  
  This was our first ever attempt to reach out to our less unfortunate indigenous brothers. The plan was very simple, to let these people know that it's Christmas. And we came to celebrate it with them.    
               
We had to ferry our vehicle using an improvised bamboo raft to get to our destination.

   "Who are these people?" seems to be the question these kids had in their minds.
