We have officially turned-over our one-classroom building for our Badjao learners in a public school in Bohol. A number of local government officials, school heads, and stakeholders attended the event.
“This was just a dream before. Now it has become a reality,” said Alith Luzon, the school principal and our very own volunteer Badjao Bridge program director.
The completion of this building is in perfect timing since face-to-face classes will soon resume in the country as Covid cases continue to decline. It's also amazing that despite the strong typhoon in December that hit many parts of the country including this place, this building remained unscathed.
Indeed, I thank God for this and the people he sent along to help us complete this project. My highest respect to our teachers and parents who do their daily duties to guide and teach our children. Their sacrifices and love for them will bear fruit in time. May this classroom be where hundreds, or hopefully thousands of children begin or continue their journey of achieving their dreams.
Teacher Agustina C. Doloritos has been teaching Grade 1 Badjao pupils for 10 years now. She's been grateful to the Badjao Bridge for its support. "Indeed, together we can make a difference in their lives."
