     What is reverse carolling? 
     Bringing Christmas cheer to low income families by sharing  food hampers, Christmas carols and     prayer. 
Each year, members of our adult ministry in Montalban also actively participate in the project. They share the joy of being empowered to give and share with the poorest in their community.

Why Reverse Carolling?
Praying for the family
Families usually host carollers by giving them food and money.  We do the reverse- giving each family food and praying for them. 

Who are the beneficiaries?
About 200 low income families in Montalban, Rizal Province and this year, we will also reach out to another 100 low income families in Tagaytay.

 Where will we go?
Montalban, Rizal, located at the outskirts of Manila, is a relocation site for squatters from Makati and Pasig. It is described by one inhabitant as a ‘human dump area’ because of its distance from the city and the lack of employment nearby. All the families live below the poverty line, struggling to earn around Php100-150 per day for food, utilities and the needs of the family. Since 2006, we have been reaching out to the low income families in this area.
Giving the Christmas hamper

Tagaytay City is known as a tourist or weekend escape for those from Manila. Yet, as we have discovered since re-locating here in 2010, there are many low income families hidden in the byways in this city.
