We just wrapped up an incredible 10-day Medical Mission to the mountains of Kalinga. Samaritan’s Purse Canada put together an amazing team of doctors, nurses, construction workers and support workers who came and served with us in one of the most remote areas of Kalinga. From March 18-28 we served over 1000 people from 7Continue reading “Medical Mission 2012!”

Our New Clinic!
Well, here it is! We finally made the long awaited move into our new clinic on February 1! There are still lots of finishing touches to be made (ie: exterior paint, roof-deck office, terrace cover) but we are in and have already delivered three babies in the new building. We will be having our GrandContinue reading “Our New Clinic!”

We have had all types of guest speakers -doctors, dentists, health-care workers – donating their time to teach parents how to takeContinue reading “Well-Baby Christmas Party”
Big City Blessing
We were so blessed by a group of friends that came from Manila last month. Karen, Calyn (my new favorite name!), Jehan and Jay travelled for more than 16 hours on the bus in order to serve the people in the village of Pakak. Richel had an idea to get some artist friends together toContinue reading “Big City Blessing”
A Very Sad Week
This past week has been one filled with sorrow. Last Friday we got word that Dessa, a good friend of ours from Bugnay, passed away suddenly from what looked like Typhoid fever. She left behind her husband and three small children; her first born here in 2007 and the youngest only nine months old. WeContinue reading “A Very Sad Week”
The Gangs All Here!
Yesterday we was an amazing example of the sense of community that we so often experience here in Kalinga. We were at the point in the construction of our new clinic that we needed to pour the cement for the second floor. Now here in Tabuk we don’t have big fancy concrete mixers that areContinue reading “The Gangs All Here!”
What’s Up with Baby Jobi?
This past week I went to visit Baby Jobelyn in Pakak to see how she was doing. Her parents have been faithful to take her to the rehabilitation center in Tabuk as often as they can. She has been improving slowly. She isn’t yet able to hold up her head but she can reach forContinue reading “What’s Up with Baby Jobi?”
We’re Back!
The Macad Family arrived back in Tabuk on August 5. We are so happy to be home! In our absence the clinic was run by our Filipina staff and our American volunteer, Crystal Meeks. They did an amazing job delivering babies, reaching out into the community, hosting seminars and even creatively dealing with broken vehicles.Continue reading “We’re Back!”
