More Manila/Faith Academy Pics



As promised, a few more shots from our week in Manila...


The city skyline as seen from Faith Academy- it's grown quite a bit in the last 20 years!












But some things don't change - Still the land of Jeepneys!


Robby and Deanna Nichols in Faith Academy's stunning new "auditorium" - really more like a symphony hall - one of the best in Manila at this point.




Andrea with long time legend but still young (that's what happens when you start teaching at age 20 something!) art instructor Dave French in the school's new high school art room. Again another great facility but the soul of Faith's art program and the one who has inspired so much creation and creativity over the years is Dave. Though I never took art at Faith(!!) it was great to see the class of 90's former class advisor.


And finally, on the way to the airport, another amazing sight! In an attempt to prevent (or help) all the men who so flagrantly disregard the 'Bawal umihi ditto' signs painted all across the city, Manila has installed these - well it speaks for itself - male urinals in various places. This called for a quick U-turn and photo opp. Inside, a urinal like thing with a pipe going straight into the ground. And this is literally the first thing you see as you leave the airport!!
