ADDITIONAL VISITS to remote TOE²S will be announced but the dangerous terrain and distances involved make these all "weather sensitive". Individuals can join in on visits made by NCIP officers to these places  remembering that this will involve writing a short report with photographs  for the EVACF website and remembering to pay expenses as NCIP is on a small ,tight budget. 

Hoping this is helpful to all who are planning adventures for 2010, from Jenny Wallum on behalf of EVACF

It was a beautiful cool morning when EVACF volunteers and officers, Jenny Wallum, Carolyn, Leliani, Jonathan Mok and Angelo N. Songco met in Holy Trinity Church last 21 January for the first visit to two TOE²S schools in Pampanga and Tarlac.  Please visit the school pages for more photos and News at Maganday Nobokah and Standard Chartered Bank. It was the first time for the new PRO Angelo as well as new volunteer from Hong Kong, Jonathan and Leilani.

First stop was at the NCIP in San Fernando where accummulated donations from volunteers were dropped off and school supplies picked up for donation for schools to be visited.  NCIP Region III coordinator Dr. Catherine Ramos was also picked up before proceeding first to the Maganday Nobokah school in Pampanga then theStandard Chartered Bank (SCB) school in Tarlac.  Donations of school supplies were given to the IP children and gardening supplies to the teachers.  A site inspection of the two school premises was also done and discussions with the teachers on improvements and upkeep of the schools.

Lunch was at an American restaurant along Fields Avenue in Clark followed by a short stopover at the Bacolor Church for some sightseeing and to gain an understanding of the destruction wrought by the lahar of the Mt.Pinatubo eruption.  The group split in Bacolor as Jenny had to bring Dr. Ramos back to San Fernando while Leilani, Carolyn and Angelo proceeded home.
