Wontok Children - Jimenez Elemenary School Philippines

How exciting to share the first images from the school after the first wave of backpacks has been received. We had 17 backpacks, and 3 backpacks joined at the last minute. God provided just the right number. If you look at the backpacks in the classroom pictures, you may be surprised as I was that they are so nice. Not all the kids need backpacks! So I'll share more later about where that brings this project. The kids who received the backpacks were the needier of the school. We will be doing supplies for the school, so bulk up in August when they go on sale!





All the Backpacks and their new owners with the teachers and staff from Jimenez Elementary School.

Check out this classroom door. Eye level bent rusty sheet metal waiting to gauge an eye out. This should be replaced by now by Lawrence's cousin Generose. Thanks Gene!


The library as it stands today!! There is water damage, water is there even at the time of the picture from a big rain. Keeping books in the school would be a great idea. Just need a better location, not by open windows and too low to floor where the water creeps up to touch the books!
