Schooling in the barrio

MAITUM, Sarangani: Pupils of Kipalkuda Elementary School in barangay New La Union enjoy going to school amid a heavy downpour and hours of walking from home to school. They laugh on the way perhaps because their school is supported by the community and the Datu Wali Mission of American businessman Daniel Evans and his wife. The couple has been helping the school for two years, inspiring these children to attend classes and providing them books, a school bus, and free lunch prepared by parents and teachers.
