June 14, 2013, I went to visit Layag-Layag
community for the first time. I met with Doc. Anton and his staff and
some other people who were also visiting that day. I got the opportunity
to see the community up front and not just on a screen (like for the
past year). During my visit I 'somehow' got an idea of how these people
live everyday from parents doing seaweed farming and from kids walking
to their school. Our purpose of our visit was not only to visit but to
also help distribute some packets filled with personal hygiene products
like toothpaste and shampoo for some kids (roughly 100).

The day before the scheduled visit, (June 13,2013) I went
out to buy some school supplies for the kids at Layag-Layag. In total I
had 1050 notebooks, 350 pad papers, 350 erasers, 350 pencils, 350
crayon packs, 350 rulers, 350 sharpeners and 350 rulers. After I got
home from my visit from Layag-Layag, I went straight away to pack the
envelopes with some help from my friend and family. After we finished
packing we had some mistakes like there were extra erasers and crayons
and etc... so I had to re-check all 350 envelopes and make sure that
each envelope had 3 notebooks, 1 pad paper, 1 eraser, 1 pencil, 1
sharpener, 1 crayon pack and 1 ruler. All 350 envelopes were packed in
boxes and were ready for the 22nd of June 2013 for distribution at
Talon-Talon elementary school where the kids at Layag-Layag community
study.
