Alternative Learning System | Brgy. Puray, Rodriguez, Rizal – Update
Its been 3 years since our first hike in Puray Sierra Madre. Ever since then, we have been coming back for more. So what keeps us from coming back? The amazing view? countless photo opportunities? experience? Sure those things are nice but what really make us come back is the love and the warmth only the people of Puray can give.
I have always been fond of kids and you will love them more once you get to meet the sweet little ones of this place. They will give you the most genuine smile and the warmest hugs without giving them anything, just your time and presence is enough for them. I would really love to see them grow and succeed in life but life can be difficult especially when their parents means of living is charcoal making.
It is our advocacy to encourage and promote learning in the community hence we conduct an Alternative Learning System (ALS) session twice every month. The adults of the community eagerly attend the evening class to acquire knowledge and help them improve their lives even though there is no electricity. Now that’s what you call eagerness. I salute our eldest student Tatay Toni for being ever present in our classes even though he is exhausted from a hard days work of making charcoal or tending his crops. I hope that he encourages your to keep learning no matter what age you are. It is never too late to learn.
Edit
We try to invite as many visitors as possible for them to meet these people, for their lives to be touched in the way our students have touched ours.
