Philippines - Ahti Villiage

Our third day on Boracay we made the short trip to an Ahti villiage on a neighboring island. The Ahti are descendents of Spanish slaves- Africans brought to the Philippine colony by their Spanish owners.

The Ahti live in the jungle a little ways off the road. Their schoolhouse and church overlook rows of rice fields, with a distant view of the Boracay and the South China Sea. Among their other ministries, our hosts on Boracay run a feeding station in this village. 

These beautiful kids, their warmness of their community, and the incredible location of the Ahti village combined to make this the favorite of all the places Cari and I went in the Philippines.
