For most of these children, this was the first time they'd ever handled a football. The pop bottle is marking a boundary, since the rain erased the yard-lines. Note the cow in the background. We had goats on our field, too. |

This is after the closing ceremony of the camp. The governor paid for the t shirts with our logo on them. They are holding the certificates, signed by Education officials from the local school all the way to the Head of the Division. This has an impact on their grades in school. |
I had a follow-up meeting with Governor Vilma Santos-Recto, in which I gave her a thank-you and a copy of the picture above, of the athletes in their t-shirts. I also discussed my ongoing project of developing a type of library. We had a nice talk and she agreed to donate materials. |
