So I just got back from doing volunteer work in the Philippines and I thought I'd share a few photos with you guys.
We were planning to visit an Orphanage while we were there, so before I went I thought I'd go down the 100yen shop and buy a few pairs of socks and tennis balls and teach them how to Poi.
I wasn't sure how they'd take it but they really loved it and a few kids took to it like a duck to water.
So I thought I'd share a couple of photos with everyone here as a thanks for helping me remain a Poi addict long enough to get the chance to pass it on.

I'm sure you and your friends will be remembed for a long time. Never hold your farts in! They travel up your spine, go into your brain and that's where shitty idea's come from.

Thanks for the support guys. Hopefully I can go back there some day to see how they're getting on.
The kids were fantastic and so full of life. They'd definitely make great poiers.
They even sung us a song to thank us. Check it out:

Sooo cute.
