PHILLIPPINES:
Slumming in Manila

December 7, 2016

In this episode of The Radio Vagabond, join me as I face challenges before arriving in Manila in the Philippines. I visited China Town, drove in chaotic traffic and mixed cement in the slum for houses to withstand typhoons.

After some challenges being allowed to board the plane from Dubai, I have now arrived in Manila in the Philippines.
It is a really hectic city I’ve landed in. Join me when I visit China Town, drive in the chaotic traffic, and when I help to mix cement in the slum for some of the houses, that the organisation Gawad Kalinga is building. Houses, that are going to stand, even when the many typhoons hit the country. And one of them is on its way right now.

Visit Gawad Kalinga’s website.

This is one of the many shacks that needs to be replaced with concrete houses.
