This is Mark in the SM Department store in the SM Fairview mall, Quezon City.  As usual when I visit the children I sponsor, I was buying some things for Mark - including the shoes he is holding in this picture.  He would not put those shoes down from the time he picked them out until the time they were paid for - and then he wore them!  Hey, what can I say?  It is really heartwarming to see a kid appreciate something so much.  This is when I realized that Mark is a very special child, too.
