A Glimpse of the Dumagat Tribe in Nueva Ecija

Akyat Aral, a non government unit - group of outdoor enthusiasts, who finds leisure in sharing found a community to help once again.

Located in a far away land in Nueva Ecija, the ocular team spent the holiday trekking to meet and greet a tribal community. It is said that they are composed of 200 adults plus more than a hundred students.

 

 

 

 The classroom of the community is made up of light materials and cannot withstand a strong typhoon. A heavy rain accompanied by strong winds might blew the galvanized roof of the hut like education facility.  Students of the hut like school were taught the basic reading and writing. The products of the learning center are not privileged to advance to elementary education due to poverty. They have to travel to a distant town in order to have a formal education.

 

Are you a fan of the cowboys?  Well, I suppose this is the Philippine version of cowboys. Sleeping in a very small house not strong enough to withstand a typhoon signal 1 or a 30 kph wind. 

Ms Aileen Pajarillaga

Ms Aileen Pajarillaga, an accredited teacher finds it hard to teach in this community. Having two hundred pesos (Php 200) allowance were sometimes sacrificed to buy materials for her heroic deed in teaching in the community. According to our humble hero, students here trek mountains to catch the class. 

Have you tried walking bare foot? These kids are prone to illness and parasites, hook worm to name one.

The humble servants of Akyat Aral Org. are once again seeking help for a project that might give hope for these children. 

If you always complain of simple things in the city and wanted to find answers to your queries, join the team's project.

If you are bored of the city life, have time to join the event.

If you complain of having your favorite pizza served cold, think again. There is a community eating one serving of sweet potato a day.
