Help with Food
Friday 8 of March
It is hot and humid. I love the heat and being able to wear my flip-flops. On the way to Taytay where the Star of Hope school with 2500 students is located, I can see how much more construction there is than when we lived here 5 years ago. The roads are still as bad as always but there are more businesses, stores and restaurants. In north Taytay there is even a big department store.
When I arrive at the school it is pretty quiet. I find out the high school students are taking their National achievement test. It is the test of which they need high scores to get in to a good college. I sneak around and try not to disturb. When the testing is completed there are some tired teenagers coming out of the classes but they are soon re-animated. Preparations for our big re-inauguration day and Founders Day are taking place. Children are practicing for their show dances and the school yard is soon filled with laughter and music.
Not much time passes before I have two girls approaching me shyly saying hello - still remembering my name. I am so blessed to be able to be here.
