When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.Our hearts are heavy hearing the heartbreaking news about Pastor Robert Guanco from Eastbourne, (originally from Davao) who tragically lost his life after a sign fell during the recently held #BigChurchEvent. 💔It’s difficult to put into words how devastating such a sudden loss must be for his family, friends and the church community. We're sure Pastor Robert was a much-loved and valued presence in Eastbourne, and that his life touched many people in ways that will not be forgotten.Sending our deepest condolences and prayers to his loved ones and to everyone who is grieving this tragic loss. May God comfort them and give them strength in the days ahead. May he rest in peace. 🕊️#Eastbourne #TheBigChurchDayOut

They set goals, shared ideas and started thinking beyond just making products — towards creating a small but steady source of income for their families.We also had a family mental-health session, giving them time to talk about the pressures they face, listen to each other and simply be together.What we love most about this project is seeing their confidence grow. It may start with a simple skill, but behind every piece they make is a woman working towards something better for herself and her family.We’re so proud of how far they’ve come. #HeartForPhilippines #WomenFarmers #LivelihoodProject #Bicol #BabayiWeaves
