Project Play Ground

Allowing Children to be a Children 

After the Project Classroom,  the "Project Playground" is another dream project to fulfilled for  Dumagat children. 

For almost five years of visiting them,  we provide their schooling needs,  promote education and inspires them to study. We gives packs filled of school supplies, nutritional foods to promote healthy living and proper nutrition, not only for the children but to the whole community. Every December, we provide the whole community  a various gifts, such as clothing's, toys, foods, grocery pack and conduct parlor games  to let them feel the true meaning of Christmas.

In our continuous visitation with them, Akyat Aral dream for them is turning into reality. Slowly  our dream has come true to build a descent classroom. We create a Fun and Joy Tour to show them how much we care in our own way to promote their life long emotional being  and to help them feel connected.

Now, the Project Playground.  Akyat Aral passionately believe that  education  as the primary  right of every children, to learn, understand and develop skills that acquired through  schooling, we also believe that every children has the right to play.

Akyat Aral   understand the importance of playing for the children that will help them to flourish, The project was planned and thought-out properly.

Akyat Aral have  fundamental reasons why this  Project Playground is important for all the children  in their early childhood program and in school.  Outdoor play is one of the things that characterized childhood and best preparation for their adulthood, to have a full and enjoyable childhood. Thus childhood must include playing, for a variety of reasons that these reasons cannot occurs inside their classroom. Yet children must have this important experience, and this experience is a memory they remembered  in their childhood days. 

Playing are learning, it develop the capacities of the children bodies, exploring the materials world around them and navigating the complexities  of social interaction. It also contributes to children's physical, intellectual, emotional and social development and participation and above all this is the right of every children to experience playing regardless of their status in  life.

The Event: 

The journey to Sitio Bulak is exciting especially to Akyat Aral volunteers who have been visit the place and able to mingle with the Mangyan Community. The physical challenge riding to what they called "Skeleton Truck" the dusty and rough road, skipping meals, inadequate sleep, and many other physical challenges are all worthless compared to the joy, fun and happiness they can give the the community they know that awaiting for us.

The Classroom

The inner part of the classroom is almost finished as we prioritized for immediate use of the children. Along with the playground, the steel window is now attached. There still a lot of things to be done, we want to finish everything including the outer part of the school, until it was painted. 

Akyat Aral dream to this school is to be a symbol of  their education, that connect with the heart and soul of generation of Dumagat children and continue to convey the promise of education for their future generation. 

Another dream we want to give them is a solar panel so that we can put  a television set in their classroom as a medium  of additional knowledge for them. A  programs where they can learn many things. They can learn about places, as well as animals that they have never seen, they could also learn about new scientific discoveries.  Historical programming can help make more aware of cultures and people. Documentaries can help them develop critical thinking about society and the world, and other viewing programs guided by their teacher.

Bridging to the  community offered a unique experience to travel to this far mountainous areas that never been especially for our new volunteers.

This is a great challenge, mentally  without the comforts of their homes and physically help to a community that was in great need.
