| リポート | 現地までのルートは、まず国際線でマニラまで行き、国内線でレガスピまで行って車で1時間ほどかけてホテルまで行きます。そのホテルからジープニーで1時間ほど行った山の奥にワークサイトがあります。このサイトにはすでにハビタットハウスや他の団体の家を持った家族のコミュニティーがありました。そのコミュニティーに必要なコミュニティーセンターの建築に携わらせていただきました。主な作業はセメントづくり、土台固め、屋根・壁のスチールフレームの組み立て、トイレのタンクを入れる穴掘りでした。ワークサイトには現地の学生ボランティアがたくさん来ていて一緒に作業をしました。年が近いためかすぐに仲良くなり英会話も特に気になりませんでした。ほとんど毎日晴れていて間2日くらい雨が降りました。雨の時は作業を中断します。また作業をしながら「これは容量が悪いな」と気づき、別の作業手順を大工の指導者に提案するとすぐに改善してくれました。途中軽い熱中症になって頭痛を訴えた子がいましたが、休憩してすぐに元気になりました。 R&Rでは2008年にお世話になったワークサイト、食糧問題などの問題を抱えた地域の学校、ワークサイト以外のハビタットハウス、ごみ山、ストリートチルドレンを支援する施設などを訪問させていただきました。それぞれの訪問先で疑問に思うことなどを質問すれば現地の人はみんなわかりやすく説明してくれます。他にダラガ・レガスピ市の両市長、アルバイ州長、大学生との交流もあり、大学では貧困削減をテーマに軽く話し合ったあとキャンパスツアーもしてくれました。私たちは文化交流として、よさこい、桃太郎の紙芝居、うらじゃダンスを練習して行きました。よさこいはR&Rで訪問したところ、ほとんどの場所で披露しました。一緒に「どっこいしょ!どっこいしょ!」と言ってくれてすごく反応が良かったです。 宿泊施設は男女の建物が分かれていて男子の部屋は2階にありました。女子の部屋と部屋の間にはきれいなプライベートプールがあり、海が目の前にあって落ち着くには最高の場所でした。部屋はエアコンがついていて、シャワーもトイレも特に問題ありませんでした。食事も自分の好きな量だけとれる形式だったので、無理せずに、また私たちに合ったものばかりだったので食べやすかったです。結構田舎の町だったので朝日や星がすごくきれいです。 |

| Report | This is the 6th annual trip of Saint Mary's International School to the Philippines and its second visit to Zion Puerto Princesa. The international and domestic carrier of the team was Philippine Airlines. The trip was held in a total of eight days. The team had an overnight stay at Shalom Center in Manila. This hotel was just a block away from Robinson's Department store. In Puerto Princesa City, the team was accommodated at Balay Inato, The rooms were spacious, clean, and staffed with polite, kind, and courteous employees. In our first day of work at Barangay Bahile, an orientation was held to familiarize us with the policies, procedures, and daily work routines. We kept our belongings in a storage room at the worksite's office with the key entrusted to me. We worked on three lots with the inititial foundations of the supposed houses ready. We carried bricks, laid bricks for the walls, mixed cement, put gravel in bags, carried bags of gravel and sand, fabricated bricks, poured cement into the crevices of the laid bricks on the walls, filtered the big chunks of stones from the mixture of gravel and sand, and dig two septic reservoirs. We had our daily breakfast at Balay Inato and lunches and snacks in Purok Hall at the project site. The food served during lunch was excellent! We enjoyed eating fresh ripe mangoes, sweet pineapples, and ripe bananas for dessert. We went sightseeing at the Underground River and Nature's Park; swimming at Taraw Beach; island hopping, swimming, and snorkling at Honda Bay; and shopping at the local markets for souvenirs. We took part in the dedication of five houses to the new homeowners. We donated some school materials to the Day Care Center; distributed chocolates to the children and villagers; and donated some construction materials to the affiliate, We also had a Basketball Friendship Game with the local Youth Team. This trip was indeed a very rewarding experience! |

| Report | We arrived safely at NINOY AQUINO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT at 11PM on the 5th of march. The program administrator Adriang Saturno was waiting for us as planned. We boarded a bus at 12:30am and drove for 8 hours to our final destination,BALLER AURORA PROVINCE. We went directly to AMCO BEACH RESORT, where we stayed for the whole trip. - Day One: That morning we had breakfast and met some people from the Municipal Hall, together with the ex-Major of Baller Aurora. After breakfast we had some time to relax before heading to the work site HIWALAYAN BACONG, SAN LUIS AURORA. When we got there, we were so surprised that they had prepared us such a nice warm welcome party with fanfare, singing and some lovely speeches. It made us really happy! - Day Two: For our first day of work at Hiwalayan Habitat, we began to understand the complex artistry of a carpenter's job. The work wasn't so easy, but we had lots of fun at the same time. The families were so nice to us and the workers were very patient and kind. Also the kids were so lovely and fun to be around. And the food was great! - Day Three: Second day of work at the site. We started to familiarize ourselves with the tools and techniques we were using. The team members were doing great! And the relation ship between the families and us, was very harmonic and friendly; So we worked until late afternoon. Then we played with the kids for a while. - - Day Four: We woke up at 4:50am and went to the beach to see the sunrise, then went back to the hotel room and slept for one more hour. After breakfast, we went to see the oldest tree of the Philippines. It was so amazing!
Then after lunch ,we worked at the site for a few hours. Then we were introduced to the families, one by one. After the formal introductions we played London Bridges withe all the kids from the neighborhood until late at night.
-Day five: Our forth day of work at the site, we were so happy to see some results from our efforts since day one. At 3pm we visited the Municipal Hall. As usual we had a very warm welcome from them, with drinks,snacks and a very special and beautiful hand made hat for each of us.
- Day Six: We worked until 3pm and then we went visit the elementary school of San Luis Aurora. It was so nice ! There were lots of kids and they danced for us. We talked and took lots of pictures together. -Day seven : We were so sad that it was our last day of work and specially spending such a wonderful time with the local families and kids. -Day eight: In the morning we went see a stunning fall. And the college of technology. After 4PM we left Baler Aurora and headed to Manila. -Day nine: After a good night sleep in a hotel in Manila, we had a nice breakfast and went to the sight seeing, such as: one of the oldest church and a museum. After lunch we went to the Mall to buy some souvenirs to our dear ones in Japan. We left Manila airport around 6:40AM and arrived safely in Nagoya airport four hours after. If I have a chance to go back to the Philippines, I would definitely go visit Baler Aurora Province. People there are so kind and warm. And thanks to Mrs. Adriang Saturno and Mr. Robert who were so generous and helpful to us the whole time, we had a great and unforgettable time there! |
