On Saturday, the Raya School Naga will be having an Entrep Fair to raise funds for their Bayanihan Project. The kids worked hard on their services and products so that their earnings can be shared with kids from a day care center in Pacol.

[Her Story] Education
Lola shares bits and pieces of her life, her thoughts, her prayers randomly and I want to be able to catch them. Some days, we go through her journal – treasured notebooks that she writes in daily (and has been doing so for almost fifty years). But on most days, we just talk, eat biscocho […]
