Reminded of the movie, "Slumdog Millionaire," students from Milaca Evangelical Free Church and their chaperones traveled to the Philippines to lead a three day vacation Bible school, a Bible seminar at a college and host a basketball tournament.

"We went to the Philippines to help them, but they actually helped us," said Kayla Dahlstom, "They taught us things about life that we never would have understood before making the trip."
