I was saddened with the state of the Philippine schools, especially the one featured in this Sine Totoo episode. With tattered blackboards, no electricity, school buildings that are about to collapse (if there is a school building to speak of), a lack of desks and chairs, books, and supplies for an average of 120 students in a classroom, the Philippines ranks 41 out of 45 in Asian countries in Math and Science.
Check out the video HERE.
Wouldn't it be great to raise funds and build a small classroom per village?
