Participants visit Arocha boarding school to talk about education and have fun!

Later Saturday afternoon, participants took traditional boda bodas (bicycles with a padded seat behind the rider) out to Arocha school, winding in a single file parade through the streets of Apac. Residents looked on with curiosity at the unusual sight. Participants arrived at the school and were greeted by hundreds of school kids assembled beneath a large tree in the middle of their classroom blocks.
Participants split off into groups with the students (ranging from Primary 2 to Primary 6) to talk about the importance of education in their lives, encouraging students to continue their studies. Following the discussions on education, the groups dispersed to the school fields to play games. Favorites were informal games of soccer, Duck Duck Goose, Red Rover and Shark Attack. Before departing the school, many participants exchanged contact information with students to be penpals from the U.S.
