beacon

whew!  i survived my talk!

this morning, i was asked to speak to the 8th grade class of beacon about messy bessy and social entrepreneurship.  wow those kids are super smart.


the school's currently in a temporary location (an old government building i think) and from the inside, it looks like your regular school.

this is one of the corridors of the middle school.


but then you start seeing tell tale signs that they're quite progressive.  like this sign in the driveway to speed up the traffic.


chickout this quote on the corridor -- ang lalim.


the teacher to student ratio is extremely low here...  also, chickout their computer room!


chickout what this girl was working on -- a sustainable venture that can help alleviate aids/hiv -- shwooooahhh!


a wall display on the different world religions...


a list of questions in their filipino language & culture classroom.  funny the heading is "mga tanong" but chickout the questions --  they're in english.


chickout this activity, they were learning the map and how the globe translates to it.  so they worked on orange peels and spread them out on paper.


last observation:  what are these things tied around their heads?  hmmm...
