"It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving." - Mother Teresa
This was long overdue but since I’m in a state of posting, here goes the not-so-fine post for the 2014 Anniversary Celebration.
The Aetas are considered to be one of the first native settlers in the Philippines. According to one theory, the Aetas are descendants of the first settlers in the country some 300,000 years ago. Artifacts show that Aetas once lived in the lowlands but gradually retreated to the hills and mountains when subsequent immigrants and conquerors pushed them into the forest.(http://philippinenative.blogspot.com/)
The Community of Aetas in Sitio Cawag is a minority group on the outskirts of Subic so they rarely receive help from the NGO's (Non-government Unit) and LGUs (Local Government Unit).
To celebrate our 4 years of friendship and adventure, our group decided to hand out food, slippers, umbrellas and school supplies for the Aeta students.
Donations from the group and sponsors
Beneficiaries of the Program
In behalf of the group, a heartfelt thanks to the donors and sponsors of this project. It was truly a big help to our Aeta brothers and sisters.
