Charity Means Going an Extra Mile: Weapon Ride


Charity means going an extra miles... ride on a weapon vehicle for a rough and bumpy terrains... seek the marginalized where no ordinary persons can go...This is the road traversed by committed and passionate teachers and children going to school daily... one place was called "Datal Cry" - steep elevated road where the teachers cried after they hurdled it...

Who cares for the Education of the IPs: Dedicated Teachers at the Remote Area of Datal Salvan, GSC


Visiting Datu Salvan Elementary School is an oppurtunity to meet innovative and dedicated teachers for the IPs.... they harness wind and sun to electrify their schools - computers, classrooms. They give potable water to the community through their simple hydro technology. Much have to be done....used tarpaulins covered Grade 7 make shift classrooms.... dedicated teachers reserved a space in their classroom - making it their "class homes"... children look chubby but were malnourished (they ate cassava, camote and other root crops which have toxic contents)... Teachers go down for their families once a week - every friday for a P150 habal habal ride.
