Since the correlation between the lack of schooling and the degree of poverty is so strong, the objective of volunteers in the Phillipines is to encourage those who have enrolled their children that it’s worth the effort and expense needed to keep their children enrolled. The other great need in Filipino day cares is quality teaching materials and curriculums, and Activated Ministries was happy to sponsor the books and teaching materials which were distributed to dozens of schools in these underprivileged neighborhoods.
