Travel for a cause: update

Sa lahat ng mga nagbigay at nagbalak magbigay ngunit hindi na nakaabot..MARAMING SALAMAT.

And so after an eventful almost-fourteen hours of train ride, we finally reached Marela's small town of Manlilipot, Albay.

Immediately after feeding our empty stomachs, Marela's grandmother, Mrs. Amparo Bien talked to us regarding the outreach we will be holding the following day. She was so gracious to help us out in this endeavor. We learned that the whole Bien family is active in doing charity works in their municipality. You see, Mrs. Amparo was a previous vice mayor. It was inspiring to hear her tell stories about their charity works and how she sees it as her social responsibility. And when asked why we taught of such plan, the four of us just laughed in reply. It wasn't that easy to explain but I remember answering her we miss the feeling of doing such projects.
