This is a photo of the boys dorm at the facility. Very basic shelter, but when it rains the boys get wet. Notice the dry fields?
The facility was able to feed the students by growing fruit and veges but since the water table has dropped to such a low level and the old water pump stopped working the staff and students sometimes go hungry for a day or more especially in the summer ( now ) when rainfall seldom comes. They desperatly need to drill a deeper well and buy a new water pump to irrigate the dry fields. Cost is close to $700.00 for water pump and drilling. If anybody feels they would like to contribute to a very worthy cause can contact me directly at: palawanproject@yahoo.com
Once water is flowing to the fields again they will be able to provide enough food for all staff and students.
