UNITY BUILDS HEALTH AND EDUCATION FACILITIES Buenavista, Marinduque- “In the midst of the continuing development in what was dubbed the depressed Barangay of Yook is the overwhelming unity of its people…We once envisioned a Barangay Health Center that will look like the Barangay Hall itself, but what we were able to build was even bigger than what we dreamed of…There is nothing wrong in dreaming for a better future, as long as it is paired with persistence.” A DREAM COME TRUE I am Kristina Grace A. Fernandico, sponsor child of Norwegian Mission Alliance Philippines from Navotas area. I’ve been a sponsor child since I was in my kindergarten days, 1994. My father is working as a Security Guard in a company, while my Mother is a vendor of variety of food spices and selling it house-to-house. I am the eldest child among the 4 siblings. My parents has always helped each other to give us a better future, and I was so blessed that Norwegian Mission Alliance Philippines have supported me to reach my dream. AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER! Thank God it’s Friday! As we welcome our new Consultant Mr. Ole Martin Uglem and his wife Mrs. Hilde Bringedal Uglem into the NMAP FAMILY last January 22.What an affair to remember! |

GOING WILD FOR AMBASSADORS
Up hills and down hills. The high wheeled and strong car brought NMAP staff of Marinduque and Norwegian volunteers to the mountain village school of Payanas. Here we met 1-3 grade children for photo taking and interviews.
NMAP desires to help the people to help themselves in Payanas. Ambassadorship connected to all 1-3 graders in school is a way of helping this community. Through ambassadorship they will have sponsors in Norway that will support the community to develop.
The Sponsor Relation Team stayed at Payanas Elementary School the whole day, taking pictures and speaking to people around. The teacher of 1.grade, Enalyn Villaruell is sad to know there are so little school materials to give the students. – Everything lacks here, she says. Ms Villaruell is happy to partner with NMAP – You are so generous in Norway, she says.

Friendly teachers and volunteer parents gave us a heartly welcome. The children all seemded very exited. Some of them were a bit shy. Barangay Payanas is a very nice place for visitors who can look at the view of distant green mountains, the coconut palms around and enjoy the peacefull surroundings. But it is not easy for the ones who live here to have a decant life. Because of its remoteness and difficult roads, it is a challenge for the villagers to avail of education and health services from the state. The area is rough, and in rainy season the steep roads gets slippery, and almost impossible to use.
