This is the school where I spent my first and second years in high school. I though to get a shot of it while I was in Masbate last week to bury by grandfather. He was 94, but this is another story.
I thought my coming home to where I spent my growing years told me I should go back in April 2008 when we celebrate our 30th year after graduation.
I was glad to have visited it, never mind the heavy rains brought by Nina that soaked the soil in the school grounds. Maputik! Seriously, the visit gave me the nostalgia. It was here where I danced Pandanggo sa Ilaw, ate tira-tira, did gardening and woodworking, and played the guitar in the rondalla.
Enough for reminiscing. I need to gather 100 school bags with school supplies in them–pencils, notebooks, pad paper, ballpens, erasers–I indicated to my former high school classmates that I will try to get sponsors for this project as part of our homecoming activities. This is easy–100 people to donate 1 bag each with school supplies; or 50 people to donate 2 bags each with school supplies. I have till March to do this.
There are 100 school children waiting for these bags. They are indigents, they go to school without shoes nor slippers, or breakfast, or pencils. How can you not have the heart to help them?
For your donations, comment on this blog, or send an email to santacruz.adela@gmail.com, and we will be glad to assist you on how your donations can reach these children.
Thank you in advance!
