In early August, we launched the Adopt-A-Learner project. Currently, we are supporting 11 students with lunch packages and snacks for their breaks. Our budget is approximately 25 pesos per child per day. Since they attend school 20 days a month, this equates to a monthly support of 500 pesos per child, which is around \u20ac8 per child. Unfortunately, this may not always be sufficient to provide every child with a healthy lunch daily. At times, we may need to limit it to a healthy snack. However, our goal is to provide a full lunch each day by collaborating with local businesses to reduce costs and by finding producers and exporters who sell products for the Philippine market.<\/p>

We will also be responsible for creating healthy and enjoyable ideas for lunch packages, as well as educating and encouraging the children to eat healthily.<\/p>

“Yehey!” is a Filipino exclamation similar to “Hooray!” or “Yay!” in English. It is used to express joy, excitement, or triumph, typically in informal or celebratory situations. This word is a part of everyday Filipino language and is often used to celebrate good news, small victories, or simply to express joy.<\/p>

The goal of the YeheY project is to work alongside local residents, parents, teachers, and volunteers to improve conditions for young learners. Initially, our focus is on providing free meals to the students participating in our Adopt-A-Learner project. Additionally, we support parents who are willing to help with this project and want to build something for themselves by offering them a small, interest-free microloan.<\/p>

Participants in this microloan program receive funds that enable them to contribute to our YeheY project. This allows them to build something for themselves and eventually become self-sufficient. The loan is not a permanent gift; it is intended that through the repayment of a small monthly amount, they will financially support Bulbugan Elementary School for general expenses and maintenance. This will increase their involvement in the school’s situation and potentially provide them with the opportunity to sell homemade snacks or healthy treats locally to better-off students at a low price.<\/p>

Given the potential of this project and the number of people it can help, we are seeking financial support. A small monthly contribution of \u20ac20 or more can provide significant assistance and enable us to accomplish great things in the Philippines. Donations can be made via our donation page on the website.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Last week, we received a request from the Bulbugan Elementary School, which we support in Oriental Mindoro. They would like to fulfill the teachers’ request. For years, they have been using the familiar dark chalkboards. However, it is clear that this is no longer contemporary, given the changes here in Dutch elementary schools.<\/p>

Unfortunately, it is not possible to replace all these chalkboards with modern digital boards. But we can replace them with beautiful whiteboards. A common complaint from teachers is that they have allergic reactions to the chalk and dust that comes from it. Of course, we want all teachers to be able to do their work under the best possible conditions. That’s why we have started collecting donations to purchase 10 whiteboards in the Philippines. At the moment, the school has used white covers to create makeshift whiteboards.<\/p>

With the help of donations, we have already been able to purchase a few whiteboards, but we depend on more donations to make this happen. Can you help us? Support us with a donation; any amount is welcome. A whiteboard in the Philippines costs about \u20ac70. This provides comfort to the teachers and children at our Bulbugan Elementary School. We hope that as many people as possible can help us so that we can quickly order the 10 whiteboards. Will you join us?<\/p>

Attached is the school’s request with photos of the current situation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
