My Passport to Italy

by - April 05, 2016


My journey going to Italy was never easy.
It started out with an idea. There was a Forum, for Students who are in studying in Colleges and Universities, which theme was to support how friendship can be a bridge towards good citizenship. We are to make a research paper and video on how we could showcase application of the theme in the society. From there, we conceptualize and made it into action.

Our group focused on 'Eskwela'. An outreach program/volunteer work of Tahilan Residences and Study Center, a project of Philippines Foundation for Cultural and Educational Development, Inc. (PFCED) and assisted by Kalinangan Youth Foundation Inc.
Eskwela is a program where group of Volunteers, called Ates, are assigned to teach the less privileged children. Those are children who couldn't afford to go to school. Children are aged 3-14 years old.

Eskwela is held every month, every Saturday of the week. Volunteers makes a yearly education plan, which covers English, Math, Science, Arts and Catechism. 

It was such a journey between my group mates and I since all from the start we were in different schools, different schedules and got lots of ideas that conflicts between how and what we're going to do to present an output that will eventually bring us to Rome.

The video was first presented here in the Philippines last January 2015 at the University of Asia and the Pacific. Then finally in Rome last April 2015.
