The Philippines - Visiting an Elementary School: A Heartwarming Experience of Donating Supplies

VISITING A ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN THE PHILIPPINES
Welcome to Travel Discovery! Today we are visiting a school in the Philippines. Teacher Joan has invited us to come and we will bring a few school supplies and chocolates with us for her class. For a long time, the education system in the Philippines was one of the shortest in the world. Back then, formal education was only required for 10 years (6 years of primary school and 4 years of high school). BUT In 2012, the government introduced new legislation requiring students to attend school from kindergarten (around age 5) to grade 12 (around age 18). This meant that the new legislation added 2 years to the curriculum before students could finish high school. Since then, the education system in the Philippines became more similar to American K-12 schooling. However, many Filipino parents and ex-pats choose to send their kids to private schools for better education quality.

I'm planning on getting to the Philippines in the next month with the hopes of doing a vlog where I go to different areas, do a quick video of the waterfall or whatever natural/etc. attraction is there, but then the majority of the video will be donating to the school/orphanage either books, teacher salary after school for an art class, etc. Absolutely annonymously much like you just did with the hopes of others doing likewise with a sort of reverse pyramid scheme. I'd love to pick your brain a bit if possible. -thank you for doing what you did! -love and bliss to you!

Schools will absolutely love any donations you can give them. Families and teachers typically don't have much to spend on school supplies. More videos about the Philippines are coming...stay tuned.
