I excitedly opened one of the ginormous packages that just arrived this morning here in our club room. I immediately smiled after seeing the custom backpacks inside the package. Finally, matapos ang almost one school year na paghihintay masasagawa na rin ang inaaasam-asam naming outreach program ng math club.
Every year, ang lahat ng clubs in LKA ay required to initiate a project or activity and it should be spearheaded by graduating students as a sweet farewell daw. Some clubs opted for clean-ups, feeding programs, at marami pang iba na trip ng mga clubs. This year, I suggested sa club namin na magsasagawa kami ng outreach program kung saan magbibigay kami ng mga school supplies sa mga less fortunate children para may magamit sila sa susunod na pasukan.
I’m so happy that the club approved of it and now it’s finally coming to place.
Anyway, hindi naman kami mahihirapan para sa financial aspect kasi ang may-ari ng school ay palaging nagbibigay ng twenty thousand pesos per club to fund their activities. I told you, he’s pretty generous.
Nakahanap din kami na mga donors kaya umabot ang pera namin para makapagbigay kami sa isang daang bata.
I was inspecting a cute denim backpack nang biglang bumukas ang pinto ng room. Riza, one of the club members entered with an envelope and was grinning from ear to ear.
Riza is also a graduating student kaya kasama ko siya sa pagpo-process ng activity nato.
“Abiiiiiii, hi!”, masiyahing bati nito.
“Hi Riz! Ang saya natin ah? Care to share?”
“Yes! Heto na ang memo from the principal’s office tungkol sa approval ng reach-out natin”
“Wow, talaga? Patingin”
We read the content of the memo and learned na inaprubahan nga nila na isagawa namin ang outreach program. The only problem is that we requested it for next Friday, but they assigned us to do it next Monday which is kinda alarming considering na we still have to buy some other things.
Ang ginawa kasi namin ay inorder namin earlier this year ang mga materials na kailangan ng mahabang panahon sa paggawa such as the customed backpacks, rulers, multiplication at division tables, at marami pang iba na on-sale.
“Abi, pano na yan? Ang aga naman ng Monday. Kailangan pa kaya nating mag pack ng mga ito,” sabi ni Riza na nakasimangot.
“Okay lang yan Riz, we will just have a meeting tomorrow para malaman natin ang ideas ng ibang members”
“Okay, uhm Abi, pasensya kana ha? Feeling ko kasi magtatrabaho sa weekends dahil sa shift ng schedule. Eh, hindi ako makakapunta sa Sunday eh, pero promise sa Saturday tutulong talaga ako”, Riza said apologetically.
“Ano ka ba Riz? Okay lang yan no? Hindi ko nga rin alam kung papayagan ako ni mama eh. But I’m pretty sure na maiintindihan ka ng mga members”
She smiled and was about to reply nang biglang bumukas ang pinto ng club room at pumasok ang iba pa naming mga kamiyembro ng club.
“Hey guys! I heard inaprubahan na daw ang program natin,” Yuan said.
“Oo pero may problema tayo eh,” sabi ko habang pasalampak na umupo sa isang beanbag.
“Yep, nalaman namin kasi nagchat si Riza sa groupchat ng club,” sabi naman ni Troy while retrieving a bag of chips from his backpack.
“Actually, nasa canteen kaming apat ni Third eh, pero nung nabasa namin ang chat ni Riza we immediately went here para malaman kung anong gagawin,” sabi naman ito ni Matt habang kumukuha ng chips galing kay Troy.
