The school supplies and books were divided amongst 2 elementary schools within the town proper, Basey I and Basey II Central Schools. A package of supplies was given to each classroom to be used by students who could not afford their own and the books were given to the libraries for communal use. Each child was also given chocolate as treat (all Halloween candy from Canada!).
Although I arrived on Friday, the week consisted of many activities including a daily Novena, Public Speaking Training, Physics Lecture, Sports Days, Literacy Days, and Celebration of the Arts Day all sponsored by the Basiga, Cabigon, Agustin, and Abia families in Canada and the Philippines. I will have to get pictures from the earlier events later.
Distributing the packages to the teachers.
The students. I looked just like these kids when I went to school in Manila. Except my uniform was with a purple plaid skirt, way more fashionable.
This is the same elementary school that my parents went to.
The Grade 2 classroom named after my great grandfather.
A thank you from the teachers and students of Basey I & II Central Schools.
