First Ever Davao Orchestra Camp

 Thanks to everyone who prayed for us and helped to sponsor the first ever Davao Orchestra Camp.  Here is Mr. Becker greeting the students and helping to get the camp started.

 We praise God more than 80 students registered for the camp.  Many of them were Filipinos to mix in with some of our Faith students.  We also praise God for scholarships for many of them.  Pictured in front are the 2 directors:  Mr. Becker and Dr. Garcia.  What a blessing that Nate got to work together with this wonderful Californian, who shared his time, talents, raised his own support and shared his original compositions for the music.

 Here are the 2 directors listening to the lovely pregnant lady (me), while I helped give out the thank you gifts at the final concert.  I am proud of my husband!

 Each day there were sectionals for the various instruments.  We also praise God for the many volunteers who helped us during the week to teach and lead the camp.

 Here is Dr. Garcia conducting one of the two orchestras.

The last day of camp we had a huge concert.  There were so many students and instruments that we seated them where the audience normally sits and put the audience on the stage.  I like how Nate is in the middle of this picture, taken from the balcony.  We're praying and hoping to be able to do it again next year!
