    Children’s enjoys watching balloon making and waiting to have their balloon at hand as a price for the games. But afterwards all of them received their balloons. Children’s and members of the community thankfully said it was nice we have visited their place and spend time to provide basic health care and entertainment to their community. by: melvinboie_torres Views[257] Children are enjoying their time to play with the K.I.D.S. member. Bundles of Joys, excitement, laughter and smiling faces are seen here. by: melvinboie_torres Views[252] A tamed child and a happy mother. by: melvinboie_torres Views[234] Children are patiently and excited waiting for their turns to be weighed and to get their vital signs before seeing by the Physicians. Take note they filled up their forms on their own, giving them independence on their forms. I also have a chance to chat with them though we hardly understood each other sometimes due to our different dialects, I get to know that their school is 1-2 hours walked from their home. They strived to get education and be knowledgeable enough to have a better future. Truly they are the K.I.D.S (children’s that we have to support). by: melvinboie_torres Views[285] Last May of this year 2011, I have joined an NGO’s in my country named K.I.D.S. Foundation (Kabataang Inyong Dapat Suportahan Foundation) on a Trek to Tanudan, Kalinga province, It was located in the Northern Philippines, at middle of the picturesque and beautiful long mountain ranges. We have provided Basic medical health care assistance on these underserved far flung barrios for 4 days. We ride on a trucks, walked, hike and trek for 2-3 hours to reach each barrios. Every Tribes of the province were hospitable and excited when we arrived at their place. Their excitement can be noticed with their faces. Most of them were first time to meet Doctors and Nurses. Children’s were given priority especially those who are sicked and needed medical attention. While other children’s and adults were entertained by a games, and health education conducted by the other members of the group. At night we used to sleep and be fostered by some families, their houses were amazing, its warm inside though the climates were called at night, woods are thick and the floor were very shining as if you can get slipped. We also had a chance to see their tribal dances, songs and costumes during the entertainment night. We also saw their legendary traditions of women having their tattoos on their bodies and extremities… too bad we got to know that these traditions were started to gone by these generations. by: melvinboie_torres Views[415]
