BEBUT’S TRAIL XVII: Who Put the “N” in Nature 6

WE VISIT AGAIN A community in Baksan, Sapangdaku, Cebu City for our annual outreach program done every month of May, a few days before the opening of classes. It is our own way of thanking the communities that host our “dirt times”, a term we describe among ourselves in the Camp Red Bushcraft and Survival Guild who dirty their hands while doing camp chores and learning old bush skills.

Today, May 28, 2017, is our second year there. This event which is called originally as Who Put the “N” in Nature – and still is – started in 2012 at the former Roble Homestead in Kahugan, Sapangdaku. We have not changed our giving hearts and our special time with these children of the mountains who are obligated to walk long distances, cross streams and difficult terrain in order to study and learn in school.

We are equipping each kid – all 230 of them from Kinder 1 to Grade 10 – with notebooks, writing pads, pencils, ballpens, crayons, scissors, erasers, manila paper and a plastic envelope. The parents too will have their day with body pouches, household cleaning kits and sewing kits. But before the giving, there will be a meal for everybody and entertainment.  

This would not have happened were it not for the volunteers and our sponsors, a few of whom opt to remain anonymous. Thank you very much to all of you for your time, and your compassion and generosity. The images shown below told of the story about this heavenly time during the outreach:
