St. Andrews and Viking Aeta Schools
Alunan, Sta Juliana, Capas, Tarlac (opened May 2003)

News September 2006

This community has experienced an increase in population which has resulted in the Philippines government adding a third building, completing a full elementary school complex in this remote, thriving settlement, not far from the Mt. Pinatubo crater. The St. Andrew's Society (Manila) annually donates funds for school supplies and Stolt-Nielson Transportation Grp. Inc. recently took treats and school supplies there after braving the terrifying four wheeler route. Many of the new students came from the Happy Hansel and Fleet schools when families fled due to life threatening rebel versus government activities.
