Update #1

By Challenge 2015 Mental Hospital Appeal

So i (Alivia) leave to head back to New Zealand tomorrow. i have enjoyed my time over here in the Philippines, Meeting so many new people and working in the Mental Hospital. So far we have raised just over $800 New Zealand Dollars to help out with Toothbrushes, Shampoo, Mattresses, Clothes, Medication, and Food. I cant say how thankful i am already with the amount of support i have received. The Patients will benefit so much from this and for me to see the change already in the attitudes of the Patients! It is eye opening! The Patients have so much more energy, are now walking around, engaging in conversations and are really looking like normal human beings! They already have so much more dignity! Seeing the faces of patients when they receive a toothbrush is amazing! i didnt realise a simple toothbrush could bring so many smiles and provide so much entertainment! The Change i have seen is simply amazing and i am still stunned! However this is far from the end and me leaving the Philippines does not mean the mission is complete, This is just the beginning. The Challenge 2015 group are able to carry on the work i have started, but we will need continued support to keep feeding the patients with food and to keep gathering better materials in the Hospital. Every cent does make such a difference and i have seen this first hand! I hope to keep this fundraising page up and running for as long as possible so we can keep providing that continued support for the Challenge 2015 group. Please keep sharing this with all your friends and family. The More support, the more the patients will benefit. =) Thankyou again fo the Support you have given me and the Challenge 2015 Crew. It is greatly appreciated! We couldn't do this without your help! Thankyou!
