This year BBBS is going to Boac, Marinduque Province on May 7-8, 2011

The group is asking for volunteers and donations of only Php 300.00 or roughly $ 7.00 to support a child's education supply needs for one year. The school pack contains 1 knapsack, 7 notebooks, 4 ball-point pens, 4 pencils, writing pads, crayons, sharpener and ruler.



The target for this project is to help 600 kids.

You can help by becoming a volunteer or making a donation.

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.

THANK YOU FROM CCVF AND FROM US!!!

To all who donated and joined the visit THANK YOU VERY MUCH for making it possible!!

The management of CCVF prohibits taking pictures for privacy reason so only a few were taken by the group that went to visit and drop the donations. Due to the short time they were only able to feed some babies during their visit.

Some photos courtesy of the visiting group:
