00:04It's been almost three weeks since the new school year began.
00:09That's why the GMI Kapuso Foundation has already started a tour of different provinces
00:15for our project, Unang Hakbang sa Kinabukasan.
00:20One of the first school supplies was given to the children from Davao, Oriental.
00:25♪
00:29Every upcoming school year, most students are excited to buy new school supplies.
00:37But for the incoming Grade 1 student, Shyam,
00:40the bag that his neighbor gave him was enough, even if it's broken and has a hole in it.
00:47Because of the heavy rain in January,
00:51which caused flooding and landslides in their area in Taragona, Davao, Oriental,
00:58their house was destroyed.
01:01Their belongings, including his bag and notebook, were also flooded.
01:06My children's belongings, we don't have anything left.
01:10It's really painful.
01:11It's important for the children to go to school.
01:14But I can't do anything.
01:16I can't exchange school supplies for my children.
01:22In Putik, Lukatan Integrated School, where Shyam is studying,
01:27there are a lot of school supplies that haven't been used yet.
01:31Our activity center is all made of putik, thick putik.
01:37Other students will say that there's no paper, no pencil.
01:41As a help, Unang Hakbang sa Kinabukasan Project of the GMA Kapuso Foundation started again.
01:50We went to the remote schools in the town of Taragona
01:54to deliver complete school supplies to Kinder and Grade 1 students.
01:59Other families are still waking up from the calamity.
02:03Even with the basic school supplies, the parents are having a hard time.
02:09Thank you very much to the GMA Kapuso Foundation.
02:12We feel that your service is true.
