Our last full day here and we had one more stop to make. We went to a Drug Rehabilitation center. To our surprise we found a python!! Apparently it's their pet here with all the men! crazy! Very soft skin!
The men here spend 6-12 months willingly. One of the things they do is work making fish floaters for fishnets. They all have different jobs and it aids in getting them back into enjoying work again. 
This was our guide for the rehab place (House of Hope). Ruque (pronounced rookie), told us of his story of being a drug user and after having gone through rehab he wanted to stay here helping others gain the freedom he received. A strong believer in Jesus his resilience and compassion for fellow men here was inspiring. We met so many people like Ruque during our time here; Filipinos laying down their lives for the betterment and salvation of their fellow brothers and sisters, communities and country.
