DAY ONE
My first thought about volunteering myself to this group, what comes to mind is the opportunity to travel and be able to share like hitting two birds with one stone. However, this activity was way beyond what i imagined it would be. It was challenging but all worth it. I have prayed before i go for i'm giving myself to people i don't know and will only meet for the first time.
Along the way, the journey felt light though we have to transport boxes of notebooks from Iloilo to Bacolod City. It wasn't easy but the eagerness to help and be that change to other people made it all possible. I have met the head of the group, Miss Anabelle, a woman with a brave heart who brainchild the activity and first answered the call of one mother to help her with notebooks for her children and the enormous supporters who believe in the cause of helping children continue to dream through education and my fellow volunteers who are all busy but made the time to be in the activity. They started this activity four years ago and they have grown as an inspiration to be that change in the community. I am glad to be one of their volunteers.
To those special people who shared their ten (10) pesos and notebooks, here are some of the pictures during the giving activity. I hope this activity will continue to encourage you to give more and be that motivation to these children to persist in school and live their dreams. Thank you. I Hope to see you again next year for another round of wonderful experience about making love-giving the essence.
DAY TWO
The challenge now continues. The long drive up to the mountain for another breathtaking experience. It's ok nga kami mabasa sa ulan, importante madul ong kag mahatag ang notebooks to the Children in the Sitios.

Thank you sa tanan nga nag donate notebooks. You cannot buy the smiles of the children and the appreciation of the parents for your support. Going to school there is never short distance but a long walk to reach. A 30 minute walk for the children would mean an hour or 2 walk for us. Some children would walk almost 3 hours ro reach school, the next corner would mean turning 10 to 15 times going left and right to reach our destination, Up there would mean climbing walking up and down areas several times to reach the top. I thought this funny at first but when i was put to walk the path, i pause and thought how enormous their courage and strength to take the track and be amazed by their positive outlook amidst difficulties. So let us always count our blessings and share if we can to those who have less and be more in love and gratefulness. Let us continue to help these children achieve something in life and be that channel to reach their dreams of becoming a cashier, teachers, police and more one day.
Madamo nga salamat amon hamili nga donors.
