Sam Dowding on Palawan: Handing over the keys






The block of innovative new housing we designed for the Badjao – and built alongside some of their men – is now finished at the new Badjao village. We have just had a dedication (house blessing) and invited the whole community.

Most excited of all were the 18 young families that now each live in a brand new home. Part of the dedication included officially handing over the keys to these families, who were carefully chosen as those most in need. They are predominantly young families with young children who are unable to build there own homes.

After the prayer blessing and a short time of sharing, everyone enjoyed some special party food. It was a joyful time for the whole community, most of all for those who had no hope of building their own houses, but are now enjoying a new home!
