chimellie Posted September 14, 2009 Author Posted September 14, 2009 Hi Chi,We deal with a US foundation that has done projects in Philippines. Most often we build deep wells for safe drinking water at rural schools.I can contact them if they know of a small project near to Cebu City. Or if you wish I can PE you the contact information. Yes please, I was thinking about digging wells too.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_shor Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Hi Chi ........ maybe just a suggestion ...... instead of repairing some houses why not look at maybe a school in a small Barangay ..... it would be much more easy to control as far as repairs ..... supplies and so forth ...... after all the kids today are the Philippine leaders tomorrow ...... I have seen some pretty run down schools that are shown on the TV and even if you don't get to complete the remodeling all at once it could be an on going project and completed the following year ...... Sometimes just helping 2 or 3 families in a village of 20 or so can and does cause problems as the crab mentality tends to take effect ....... a friend of mine found out when he helped his GF's parents ...... the family went from being well liked and respected to being shunned by the very same neighbors that they used to be friends with ..... Even if it is just building or buying new desks ... chairs or hanging black-boards ...... fixing lights .... CR's and so forth in a school would be a great deal of help to the kids and appreciated by all families in the area ...... Just my thoughts and I maybe entirely out of touch with reality here ...... any way just my $.02 worth .......When I was at Cubi Point they had ongoing projects where volunteers would go and paint local school buildings. The time I went we went into Bulacan. Don't remember the name of the place now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
