German European School Visits Smokey Mountain
Posted By abee on 05.05.2010 • (0)
In October 2009, Dominic Eberle, an 8th Grade student from the GERMAN EUROPEAN SCHOOL, visited and witnessed the conditions the children in Smokey Mountain live in. He continued to accompany his father Chris, one of the main proponents of WE CARE, on several more trips to the area and the Child Care Center in the Tondo dumpsit; and rallied his classmates to come up with a plan to help the child care.
On April 28, 2010, Dominic brought his classmates led by Ms. Sybille Brendle to visit the Smokey Mountain dumpsite to share his experience with them and to give them a better appreciation of the community they will be helping; they had a full morning, touring the community and helping feed and play with the babies in the child care center.
The next week, the Grade 8 class eagerly fulfilled the Social Project they had come up with to raise funds to buy and donate supplies for the child care center: they made and sold fruit shakes in school raised P12,000.00 (including donations collected from teachers and friends) and were able to donate diapers, baby formula (milk) and rice for the Smokey Mountain child care center.
At present Dominic’s Grade 8 class is scheduling another visit to Smokey Mountain – this time to interact with the WE High School Sponsored Students!
