Our House is Open!

Today, we celebrated the completion and opening of our new Refuge House!

We had to compete with Mother's Day, a typhoon, and a Manny Pacquio fight (which, when they play, always shut down the entire city, and gangs usually call truces so that the police can watch the fight).  But we still had a great turn out including most of our partner agencies, local government officials, and newly appointed Vice Governor of Cebu and Director of the Provincial Women's Commission, Agnes Magpale.

Everyone wearing yellow is a staff, volunteer or Board member of MRH.

Here a couple of pictures from the day. For more pictures check out: http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/16154995/1/2011-05-08%20Open%20House%202011?h=eb5c80
