Rocky road to a little dream
ALABEL, Sarangani (July 27, 2009) – Pupils of New Canaan and Kiangkos Elementary Schools, with volunteers and staff of Quality Education for Sarangani Today (QUEST) walk for eight hours Thursday, July 23, heading to General Santos City on their “Making Little Dreams Possible” tour. For the first time, the 30 Grade VI Blaan school children saw a city - tall buildings, moving cars, malls, an airport and a wharf - where in their community up the mountains, they can see only the flickering city lights at night.
