The Big Brother Big Sister is asking your help in making another project a reality.
This year BBBS is going to Boac, Marinduque Province on May 7-8, 2011

Registration fee coverage: bus transportation from Manila to Lucena, ferry from Lucena to Boac, jeep fares for Marinduque inland transportation for 2 days, climb-related fees, ferry from Boac to Lucena, bus from Lucena to Manila, lunch on May 8, wash-up at Marinduque Hotsprings Resort, BBBS Volunteer T-shirt, ID, certificate of participation and sponsorship of one child.
The travel time is about 6.5 hours to reach Boac. From the jump-off, volunteers will have to carry the school sets and trek through mountainous trails to reach the school. The trek will depend on the individual pace of each volunteer. This will require some level of fitness on the volunteer. Each volunteer is expected to carry at least two school sets, more if they can.
During the distribution, volunteers will be given assignments to facilitate the distribution to the kids. Volunteers have the option of sleeping inside classrooms or to bring their own tents. They will be expected to cook their dinner and breakfast with their assigned groups. It's on a first-come first-serve basis, when the slots are full, succeeding volunteers will still be accepted but on wait-list.
