| Both "kulot" and "unat" school children eagerly awaited our return to Bayan-bayanan Elementary School for a half-day of tree planting and reading sessions. We gave each of them a Boston hat (with the letter "B" also appropriately representing Bayan-bayanan), bags donated by BKP or Bagong Kultura Pilipino of New York City, and childrens story books. |
As I mentioned in my previous blog, there were a number of planned activities that the IP Rondalla was supposed to do with the Aeta kids during our cultural immersion day in the 12th. However, the afternoon rainshowers and conflict with other performances forced us to reluctantly cancel. This included a reading session and tree planting activity. But a promise is a promise. So, after a long drive from Manila to Bataan (as I mentioned in an earlier post), we're back at the Halfway House to meet with the Aeta kids and teachers.
