Last Sunday, May 30, 2010. I said goodbye to the adopted community I learned to love and serve, Batad, Iloilo. It has been a long while since we got back and I was so glad I had the opportunity to go back one last time for this year, thanks Iloy! We gave out school supplies and met the with the scholars from 2nd grade to incoming 6th grade.
As usual the food was awesome, SEAFOOD! yummm... and the people were as ever friendly as could possibly be. So it's a mixed emotion for me, seeing as it could be my last time to visit Batad again. But as long as Iloy continues her good deed, I will too! Unlike the rest of the CES members whom I won't mention names, they were just in it for the sake of their grades when we were in our 3rd year. But for me, it's not. I joined this community extension because I have a passion for helping, volunteering and serving the less fortunate and what better way to pursue it is to join and be a part of CES.
I don't brag, it's just the truth that's all. Yearning for a family is difficult but I survived because I made a 2nd family out of these people. They may not know me deeply but that's okay as long as I see them happy seeing our presence, and our tokens for them.
Hey! I'm an Aquarian, known to be humanitarian. So I'm standing proud it! ^_^
