Ella Manio, a student in the Mary Johnston College of Nursing in Manila, helps 5-year old Akim Balaza cut his fingernails during a visit to the boy's home in the Parola neighborhood of Manila's Tondo section. His mother Nelda looks on while holding her 1-year old son Ibo.
Manio and other nursing students regularly visit the neighborhood to do health education and monitor the health of residents. The students also run a feeding program for neighborhood children.
The nursing school is supported by United Methodist Women.
