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!
