The Mabini 2010 Backpack Project - By Grace Cadlaon-Rañola

The DREAMWEAVERS! What a beautiful name conferred upon us after the backpack distribution - which we humbly accept; for who wouldn’t? After inspiring stories told, one barangay after another, with the Grade One pupils (higher graders included) responding, “Gusto ko maging doctor, nars, titser, piloto, sundalo, mayor, …” everyone present will agree we delivered hope and inspiration to these children. Each story was concluded with the children chanting with the Team the backpack slogan “Dream… Believe… Achieve…” When they were called one by one to receive their backpacks stuffed with school supplies, slippers, raincoats and umbrellas - most of them were beaming with smiles, some in tears, others shyly coming forward to receive theirs, while teary-eyed happy parents looked on, generously thanking us afterwards. That is the beautiful scenario during the backpack distribution.
