Greetings from Cagayan de oro
Philippines!!Special greetings from Manobos of
San Fernando Bukidnon! This is our
short account of activities done in "the manobo visits to First Fruit
Academy" Valencia Bukidnon . This is a kind of manobo children exposures to a
conventional private school which is far different from their local experience
in their own arena of education and environment. It was a wonderful experience
between the manobo children and the pupils of First fruits Academy...First,we had a courtesy call to
the principal of the school, then the children were brought to one of their
class (social studies class) and there
were exchanged of greetings between students( the manobos and first fruits) and
short introductions about them and the purpose of the visit and followed
by dance and song presentations by the manobo kids to show a little bit of
their arts and culture. Then after few minutes, the children proceeded to
their computer laboratory and they were taught how to operate the computer and
play games a short while... after that finally we came to the lantern making
which the firstt fruits students taught the manobo kids thought the instruction
and demonstration of one of the First Fruits teacher on how to make a lantern
through origami. It was fun and it took time to finish until the manobo kids
were able to make their own.... it was a great learning on the part of the
manobo children and also a great learning to the host school about the culture of
these tribal kids....surely those unique experiences will remain in their
memories....In behalf of the Association of Solidarity for Prosperity Incorporated would like to thank you for the never ending support for our project. Especially in this field of education and culture of peace. Thank you so much.Very sincerely yours,Glorecita Tanpresident ASPI
