Orphans of opportunity
Steven Curtis Chapman will be in Manila 7 May and perform at the PICC Plenary Hall at 7 PM; the concert is for raising funds to care for the elderly (in a place called Anawim – 'the lost and the forgotten'), to build houses for the homeless (in a place called Gawad Kalinga – a project which, because of its outstanding success, is becoming 'The Culture of Nurture'), and to help families adopt orphans (in a foundation called Shaohannah's Hope). I see here a romantic tale where a Presbyterian (Steven attends the Christ Community Church in Nashville) is working hand-in-hand (and ear-to-ear) with Catholics (FiSH Magazine). So, I'm worried more about the orphans of opportunity, those who have been abandoned by politicians who like to play a game called Power Play.
