By-laws was discussed and all present during the meeting agreed to push thru with drafting a final version of the document. This is a step forward into registering our group name thru SEC and an eventual opening of a new bank account under our registered name. Details of all these will follow so hold on to your wallet just yet until we get the full account information...hehehe. I just want to give you all a heads up that we made some great progress towards reaching our ultimate goal. Eva is working hard to get everything in order, document-wise.
Also, I had a chance to talk to Sister Wilma and she eloquently decribed to me the Night School Program, one of the many outreach programs our Alma Mater is involved in. According to her, the current immediate needs of the program is the school uniforms to incoming freshmen, approximately 30 new students. Miscellaneous expenses, including snacks for all students are already being funded by other groups/individuals.
From what I have pieced together of my conversation with Sister Wilma, the 3000 pesos per student coming from ABC Foundation is being used to cover stipends to teachers of the night school program. Technically, teachers don't receive salaries, only stipends. Any amount not completely funded is being subsidize by SDA.
Also, there is no tution fee being paid. What is required of each students when they are enrolled to the program is a measly 62.50peso monthly tuition fee(IF THEY CAN AFFORD IT- if not, then the fee is waived). She showed me the full accounting computation but given that I was still dizzy from the flight and the Batad/Sagada adventure, I wasn't able to fully grasped all the numbers but let me assure you, when it comes to numbers, I scrutinize them to the nearest cents, eventually! ;-)
Anyway, I will be more than happy to answer any and all of your questions regarding the program. You can post them here or if you prefer, email me directly. But please be patient as I am still trying to enjoy my sabbatical leave here....hehehe.
Thanks to all who attended the meeting and for their inputs. And of course, thanks to Bart N for providing the sumptous dinner at the local LeeFoo Chinese Restaurant. I took some pics of the attendees but unfortunately, I am techonology-deprived that I can not upload them here.
Lots of pics will come later...I promised!
