When Logos Hope was in Cebu earlier this year, a team went to the city of Dumaguete to build toilets for the residents. Another team went back from Subic Bay to complete the work, using nipa palm tree leaves to build roofs for the toilets. One couple they met who were expecting a baby lived with numerous animals in a tiny room with no roof or floor. “It was unbelievable to see how they were living,” said Johan Zandbergen (Netherlands). The team built a roof, a concrete floor a bedroom so the couple didn’t have to sleep in the same room as the animals. Johan was accompanied by his wife Jeannette and children Justin and Jennifer.  “We never saw our kids, they were always playing with the local kids,” he added. “The locals liked that foreigners played with them.”
