NABUKLOD, PAMPANGA: Since we have had success restoring the artesian wells, we decided to continue our efforts to restore the other two broken artesian wells in Nabuklod. We received donations from the San Francisco Premier Lions Club and the Filipino American Chamber of Commerce of Silicon Valley.
Floridablanca, Pampanga has three Aeta villages; Nabuklod with 600 families, Mawacat with 200 families, and Camachiles with 160 families. We decided to provide them with 960 5-gallon blue plastic containers so they could collect more water for their families. Each container cost $5.
SAPANGBATO VILLAGE: When we visited Target Primary School in December, the school had 160 students between pre-kindergarten and grade six. Forty percent of the students were classified as stunted or extremely malnourished. We arrived during the lunch hour where the 40% of malnourished children were given food to eat and the other 60% watched them eat. Luckily, we brought plenty of food for all the children and for the entire village consisting of 75 households or approximately 400 people.
The gate was broken and we were concerned about the children’s safety. So, we installed a new gate for $300. The school is located in the village and as we walked around, we saw three broken artesian wells. The next day, we decided to restore them. All three provided plenty of water and were named for our donors. We used the donated funds from Pranic Healing, Calvary Presbyterian Church, and the Cuison Family.
To date, we have restored eight (8) artesian wells.
