The Philippines Project Part 1 - The Welcome Home School
Listen to Lights For Learning as they install lights into two communities in the Philippines.
Hear how the team came to being there and why their work was so valuable to the Filipino people. We hear from members of the team, of Gawad Kalinga and of the local Couples For Christ group responsible for the village.
Gawad Kalinga's Bob Magalona speaks to us about the movement and its vision in helping encourage poor families out of the shanty towns and into developed communities where access to education is provided.
We hear from LFLs Project Manager, Pete Genet and Logistics Co-ordinator, Mike Noble on the progress of the project. We explore important aspects of the small community and speak to the village Project Director, Santiago Franco.
Presented by Adam Larking of LittleSmasher.com.
Other Voices: Bacolod City Mayor, Evelio 'Bing' Leonardia; Village Project Director, Santiago Franco; Gawad Kalinga Provincial Head, Bob Magalona; Sue Larking; Peter Genet; Mike Noble; Andrew Noble; Michelle Stewart, and the Children of the Welcome Home Village of the Deaf. We also hear from Teody and Dennis, members of the local Couples For Christ group who were also the charity's generous hosts for this project.
