Boy from Manila North Cemetery
Add to Cart Add to Lightbox DownloadIn the capital of the Philippines, a boy who lives in the Manila North Cemetery writes on a chalkboard in class at the Santa Mesa Heights United Methodist Church. Hundreds of poor families live in the cemetery, inside and between the tombs and mausoleums of the city's wealthy. They are often discriminated against, and many of their children don't go to school because they're too hungry to study and they're often called "vampires" by their classmates. With support from United Methodist Women, KKFI provides classroom education and meals to kids from the cemetery at this church.
