The Holy Rosary Family Farm School in Brgy. Tanibag, Pinamungahan, Cebu is really seriously looking at opening the newest FFS in the Philippines this coming SY 2008 - 2009. The association met last Sept 13 and 14 to plan their actions that would ensure the opening for the school next year. They identified 5 major challenges they needed to overcome which include 1) Building Construction, 2) Department of Educations requirements, 3) Training of tutors, 4) School Promotion and 5) Establishment of Committees to handle the concerns. The said activity was attended by 28 members of the association and two (2) collaborators. Also present during the activity is the Barangay Chairman.
Below are some pictures that depicts the resolve of the community to have their own school in operation next year.
The Action Planning Activity
Rain poured during the activity that caused the members to cramped inside the borrowed barangay tent for refuge. Their members did not complain about the rain but instead proceeded with their agenda for the day. It is interesting to note that the members present during the meeting include members who have incoming students as well as those without a child to enter the school by the following year.
The Construction Activities
The following day (September 14, Friday) saw the continuing activity at the school site. Several volunteer community members (both males and females) are already up as early as 6 in the morning to continue the construction of the school building.
While males tended the building, the female members of the association tried to tidy the school premises by cutting the grasses that grow in the school premises. They also prepared the meals for the males.
