MABALACAT, PAMPANGA: To Aeta With Love (TAWL) is a group of students from the University of the Philippines. They have collaborated in a joint partnership with the Aeta Tribe Foundation to restore the broken artesian well in Sitio Soriaca, Mabalacat, Pampanga. We were hesitant at first, but they assured us that there was water, but some parts of the wells needed to be replaced. The artesian well will not only serve the Aeta communities of 200 households but also the church nearby. The water project was completed in May. Thank you, TAWL!
SAPANGBATO, PAMPANGA: We learned from the teachers at Target Primary School that they had received an award for the most improved school. Because we assisted them with uniforms and equipment for their soccer team, they wanted us to know that they won first place in the competition. When we first visited the school, it had 160 students. Today, they have almost 400 healthy students.
An additional 30 children who were 5 and 6 years old have just started school. Apparently, these children couldn’t start school without birth certificates. Because they were born in the village by a midwife and not in the hospital, they didn’t have birth certification to show the school. We paid for 30 birth certificates at a cost of $12 each for $360.
OLD CABALEN, OLONGAPO CITY: We received a request from Mapweng Village, in which there are 200 households and approximately 1000 people, to assist them in restoring a newly-discovered spring water in their village. They needed help to purchase cement to create a platform and 200-meter hose to supply water to their village. The cost for the cement and the 200-meter hose was Php 25,000 ($500).
