(march 15) hello, naga! meet pam, tin, and marge, the team of unicef with me right now on my first ever site visit as an official unicef endorser! as their child rights supporter!!!! yaay! i hardly got any sleep last night but its all good because my excitement will keep me up today. :-p we're on a land trip now to go to cam norte which is where all our site visits will be. we'll be visiting public schools, day care centers, and home based centers, to see how they're implementing unicef's program. i got to read my briefing kit and its hard to believe some of the problems are very basic. some kids can't go to school because they're sick and the simple act of washing hands keep them healthy! or how some kids walk 10K just to get to school and are flooded out, or are absent for a week to help harvest, and because of home modules, they are helped big time! or how playgrounds get kids excited to go to school. little things make a big difference in kids' lives!!!!

(march 16) meet the student council of parang elementary school in jose panganiban, camarines norte! we're here this morning para makita at ma-meet ang mga teachers and students to see what the school needs. they are one of the schools na posibleng bigyan ng hand washing training at facilities ng unicef at procter and gamble! its called the linis-lusog kids project. super big difference ng health ng batang naghuhugas ng kamay at ng batang hindi naghuhugas ng kamay! pag mas malinis, mas malusog! today the itinerary is more on checking hand washing facilities of different public schools. yesterday the itinerary was checking on early child care development or eccd packages in different day care centers, and one home based. kung nagagamit ang mga materials, what they might need more, and how to get more kids access to eccds. i can't wait to blog about this trip so i can get more people to help and commit to being a champion for children. off now to pag-asa elementary! nice name!

(march 17) starting this day really early with breakfast at a roadside 24 hour place and our order na lomi is taking forever!!!! haha! super successful site visits yesterday. nakakatuwa how the kids already practice proper handwashing and toothbrushing. kids are taught to wash their hands as in back of hands, palms, each finger, under the nails. it taught me to take more time washing my hands! then after they rinse, more than wiping on towels they are encouraged to shake shake to minimize germs. ang galing! then with toothbrushing, a special toothpaste was formulated para after brushing, they don't need to rinse, so that the fluoride stays on the teeth of the kids. super cool! and they really have a fixed schedule when to do these together, by class, at talagang nakakatuwa kasi a lot of the kids, before this, really didn't brush their teeth or wash their hands daily! now they're linis-lusog kids and we should be too. we're going home na today. mix of sad and happy.

(march 21) steady south sunday!!!! gotta love steady south sunday. i haven't enjoyed this in sooo long. just bonded with family the whole day, my sister being home with me and thanks to technology, my brother and tracy and roco and my mom over skype! we have this new thing we do. everytime we wake up, we go on skype because at that time they're home from work. everytime we're about to sleep, we go on skype because that's when they just wake up! its sooo feels like a complete home. as in even if we're physically not chatting or in front of the webcam the whole time, we just leave it on, and we hear them playing with roco, or we hear what they're watching on tv, or what they're cooking, its awesome! right now enjoying a steady south dinner at one of the steadiest hang outs in the south, mary grace cafe! i'm with my sister and vince. we all went to mass and then now dinner together. instead of watching a movie, we're buying dvds later! not pirated of course.

(march 22) its that time of the year again! i really don't know what i'd do without our nanay virgie. imagine, she's been with us since i was 10 years old! she knows absolutely everything about us and how our family works. and she is also amazing because of her amazing passion to help with my help kids learn project! its time for my birthday project, and really, every year she tirelessly is in charge of going to divisoria to find the things we need. i'm really so, so thankful that she loves helping out too. this year its a smaller school, only 400 students, so the budget per kid went higher. also, so generously, the owner of meg, maricar and morris donated for this project, and now we can afford to give each kid a cute and colorful backpack! loveittt! these are all in boxes now and are set to be sorted tomorrow. oh hey, i finally was able to blog today about my unicef site visit in cam norte! took forever to write but its finally done! hope you like it!

(march 25) yaay for maharlika elementary school! today is my birthday project for help kids learn. as usual, this will not at all be possible without the help of my nanay virgie who does the sourcing of materials in divisoria and help pack every single pack for the kids. aren't the colored backpacks the cutest?? we usually buy a few pieces extra so i have one for myself and virgie does too. and all of this will not be possible without my darling ate lani cayetano who really lends me her van and her driver and who arranges everything with the school administration, i'm just so, so, so thankful. i have to say they were the most obedient kids ever! of all the kids i met in taguig, these kids were the most behaved. a lot of them wanted to be nurses and teachers when they grow up! which is also so different from ambitions i've heard from other schools! its nice being around kids, really, you get enriched and inspired with their outlook in life. now. busy thursday!!!!
