Help with Food
Today we went Infanta on the east coast of the Philippines' largest island, Luzon. Star of Hope has been working there since 2004 after the severe disaster. It's always fun to get there. Unfortunately it rained the whole time during the three hour journey and the road was in worse shape than it was six months ago. Oh well.
Once in place, it's always fun to see the children. I think it's fun for them with international visitors. This school year there are 84 students in grades 1-5. In a few weeks during the nearly three month long school holiday the construction of two more classrooms will start. From next year we will provide preschool and grades 1-6. This school is small but nice and the kids have every chance of a good start in life, which is important.
A little fun that kids will remember my name, too. Admittedly, I have now been there three times in just over a year now, but still. I like the school in Infanta strong.
