Femme Power

Charity continues to spread in our community as more charitable institutions and individuals work hand in hand to rehabilitate the nearby public school two months after the big flood.

Two days ago, the family of Senator Aquilino Pimentel (who are also residents of Marikina) and a family from Belgium went to distribute school bags and other school supplies to the pupils of Industrial Valley Elementary School where my daughter is studying.   They also provided cleaning materials for the school and teaching materials for the educators.  It was part of the school rehabilitation project that the two families initiated to help Marikina schools be conducive to learning again after the disaster brought by Typhoon Ondoy last Sept. 26.

Marikina Mayor Marides Fernando was also present during the turnover of donations.  More than 1,000 students were benefited.

During the program, my daughter and some of her female classmates did a dance presentation which the guests appreciated.  Unfortunately, I’m from the Jurassic Era so I couldn’t even upload the video clip to my computer nor to this blog directly from my USB.  My PC, despite being new, also functions like its Jurassic master and won’t read the video file.  After several attempts, I finally accepted the hard truth that I’m a cave man mom so let me just post a picture of my daughter before her group went center-stage for the dance.  * hugs *
