The Year That Was...On Volunteerism

"The heart of a volunteer is not measured in size, 
but by the depth of the commitment 
to make a difference in the lives of others." 
- DeAnn Hollis




MAY 7-8,2012. ZAMBALES OUTREACH. We had storytelling sessions in four schools in Zambales namely Iba Elementary School, Nagyantok Elementary School, Subic Elementary School, and Olongapo Elementary School. The project was spearheaded by Ms. Bea Torres of National Book Store Foundation.Part of the G-skwela (Galing skwela) Project was the construction of the library and book donations  to the chosen schools.






MAY 25, 2012. We were invited to do storytelling.
The storybook that we used was "Bolet Bolate" written by Dr.Luis P. Gatmaitan. 
Ms.Rina Tiangco who is a Toastmaster/teacher/storyteller/artist/cancer survivor (Yes! You'll be amazed with her energy and enthusiasm) suggested that we act out the story and so we did. The children enjoyed it as well as the parents who were given lectures on nutrition and cleanliness. The children were served lunch and afterwards, distribution of school supplies to the pupils of Inigan Elementary School.It was a fun-filled,worthwhile activity indeed. 
Thanks to Medicard Foundation and the people in the community.
Inigan Elementary School is a public school located in Rodriguez, Rizal.



AUGUST 12, 2012. As a grade one teacher, I'm always surrounded by energetic kids who keep running around and seem like doing non-stop talking. But this time, I'm with kids who were just sitting down and whose mouth were covered by face masks. And yes, you guessed it right. I'm with the kids of Childhaus in Quezon City. We did storytelling and have some fun games with the kids. They were served Jollibee foods courtesy of PHP (People Helping People), a volunteer organization also.



DECEMBER 1, 2012. I told myself  that as much as possible, I'll be doing outreach project whenever I climb and so the this project was formed. Thanks to sir Jet Reyes for providing all the information I needed to have a coordination with Nanay Josie, a concerned citizen who accommodated us when we arrived at the place. We had storytelling session to the kids of 
Mt. Timbak. I would like to thank Ms. Jenny Torres of OMF Publishing 
and Charlot Cachuela of Museo Pambata for the book donations
 in Mongoto Elementary School.
Thanks also to my fellow mountaineers and fellow Toastmasters who supported the said event.
