NLTP PARTICIPANTS WENT TO GOLD RIVER COMMUNITY






Some staff of the Philippine Navigators and 40 participants of the National Leadership Training from universities all over the Philippines came to serve the people in Sitio Gold River, Itogon. Together with the community volunteers from Ongpin Farm, they worked in clearing the grass and in cleaning the barangay road.

A group of men hauled stones and gravels to patch up some holes along the road. Some students were assigned to help prepare the meals along with some of the community people, while others swept the road.

After the work, we gathered for a short fellowship that included having meals, testimonies, and observing how to make liquid dishwashing soap. Some students were very happy to have a firsthand knowledge on how to do it. The students also toured around to see the unique beauty of the place. We all enjoyed our time together. One of the staff told me that their group will come again and help with the cleaning. What a promise, Thank God!!!
