TALIM LET Review Project



This review project, somehow, restored my faith in dreams and aspirations. I guess there's that social forces would actually push us to dream and to aspire more than our own individual needs-whether we like it or not. These reviewers, who may or may not working as a teacher, finished their degree in education thinking that this could be their way out of status quo, or just improve it. They work to better themselves financially, so that they could give more to their family and bring pride to their hometown/barangay. Dreaming has no age- one could be young, the other could be old. It doesn't matter, dreams don't age as we do. Dreams exist as long as we hold on and believe. 

We'd like to thank the following: Our Lady of Perpetual Succor College (OLOPSC) for facilitating the actual review, the Binangonan Development Cooperative (BIDECO) for the venue, the United Church of Canada for the food, the TALIM volunteers, and the participants as well. We hope that your eagerness to prepare for the LET review did not end at BIDECO, but rather inspired you to succeed.

We at the TALIM program do not make wishes come true. We are mere human beings, not fairies from the lake. We, however, wish  act upon dreams. We study how we live and how we construct everything around us. We act and study for a better society-a better Philippines.

Talim Field Work: The Instagram Perspective

The team visited the community of Kasile in Talim Island for two upcoming projects, namely: 1) TALIM LET Review and 2) TALIM SUSTAN-SAYA Projects. My main task for that day was to handle photo and video documentation. I'd love to share some photos and stories, but I have tAso spend more time thinking and writing my thesis. For now, let me just share some photos from the trip that I posted over Instagram.

Talim SUSTAN-SAYA Project Launch

Last September 2, 2012, we went to Bombong Elementary School to launch our project entitled 'Talim SUSTAN-SAYA Project Launch'. The morning was spent in a meeting with teachers concerned, the SK Chairman and Barangay Chairman of Bombong, and orienting the parents of the students included in our project. The project responds to DepEd's Adopt A School program, through which feeding programs for the malnourished students were made possible by private organizations and individuals. Our budget limits us to include only 50 students in our program, which will undergo the the nourishment (and happiness for children mini-advocacy) projects for 100 days. If you are interested to help, send me a message here.
