Hope Amid Pandemic


Future will never be seen without today's youth for grown ups will never be ripened without knowing how to be young and clueless. Yesterday's men will someday depend their future to the children of tomorrow thus prioritizing youth's progress and acknowledging their needs must be a goal for a better community. Because a community without a drive to offer helping hands and a desire to reach the unreachable cannot be entirely called a home for people.
Search for a word that is synonymous to hope and it will give you "children" as the result. Helping them to hone their young minds and letting them lead their own way will be the first step to achieve what they are destined to do. Regardless of color, race, or state of life, our youth has the power to pave a clear path to not just a progressive community but a better nation as well.
In an early age, what gives them their worth is what their grown ups teach them. Showing them the beauty they possess and helping them to use it in a greater cause will eventually create a clearer picture of a brighter tomorrow. As long as someone believes in them, values what they are, and allows them to learn even in the toughest situation they may be in, children will continue to be our hope as what the cliche sayings always tell.
Most children always want to learn. Most children seek answers to complicated questions. Most children wish to acquire clear understanding. However not every child has the opportunity to do so. Sometimes, what they want is what also seems to be impossible but that will never be the case in a world where help is free, a world which asks nothing in return.

Indeed, life is an ocean with various kinds of ship and boat. While some children are struggling in their crashed boats, crying for rescue while they are drowning, let those privileged ones who are barely sweating in their ships be the answered prayers to those less fortunate. Offer your free hand to those who are already handful of hardships because what you give is what you also get.

The Road Less Traveled: An Outreach To Indigenous People Community

 

In the town of Dumarao, Capiz lies two Ati communities, our indigenous people brethren in Mt. Tag-ao, Brgy. Tamulalod and one community can be found in Brgy. Aglalana, Dumarao, Capiz.

This kind of community has the same needs and problems as those who do not belong in any IP communities. Sometimes, our brethren who belong in this tribe have been neglected by the government, sad but that’s the reality. The most pressing problems we have identified are the access to education of children since classes were suspended in March and set to open on October 5, the learning stops because of COVID-19 pandemic and learners were deprived of education they deserve. Next, in these trying times, health is very important for everyone. It is tear-jerking to see most of the children and even adults of the Ati communities lack of nutrition. This awful scenario gives us a realization that we should do something for them, our fellow countrymen.

Our team has this strong desire to reach out this community because it really melts our heart seeing them in that kind of situation.

Incentivizing education with free relief goods.
This pandemic crisis takes away everything from us that seem very essential, furthermore changing everyone's perspectives about education. Education is among top priority for everyone, hence must be given focus and emphasis. Truly, education can change our lives, uplift one's status and improves our well-being.
As for the flagship project of Project Duag "EDU-AKSYON", it might not be the real solution to country's problem in education, for us it is one thing that could create additional learnings to students, and motivate them to pursuit education at any cost.
As the COVID-19 continues to grip the country, Project Duag will extend educational opportunities to far-flung communities.
