Punong GK Village is located in Barangay Punong, municipality of Matalom, Province of Leyte. This small community is accessible because of the paved road. Forty families are in the community, and there are 50 to 100 kids. Fishing is the villager’s primary source of income.

The province of Leyte was among the most badly hit areas by Super Typhoon Odette in December 2021, when it made landfall. It was the second powerful typhoon to hit the province after Typhoon Yolanda. A total of 185,529 homes were damaged, and production losses were estimated to be around PHP 614.27 million.

The local community daycare centre at GK Punong, Matalom, Leyte, was among those severely impacted. The roof was damaged, leaving it exposed to the elements. Unfortunately, due to the many houses being prioritized for reconstruction, the centre was not considered a priority and was left in disrepair. As a result, the young pupils were no longer able to use their classrooms, which is why the community had to improvise by creating a makeshift classroom out of bamboo above the river. However, it has been almost two years since the makeshift classroom was built, and it is now dilapidated. Holes are already visible, which poses a risk to the small children who walk on them.

Teachers and parents looked forward to using their old classroom since the makeshift classroom was no longer safe for the students. For the safety of the children, the locals sought financial aid to renovate their ruined daycare centre. This fundraising campaign aims to help teachers and the 50 daycare students in Barangay Punong.

This initiative aims to enhance kids' education by giving them a vibrant and safe learning environment, which will help them grow into more adept learners.

Your generosity will change the lives of the students in Punong GK Village. Your kindheartedness could be life-changing for them, giving them hope and the opportunity to start a new beginning in their newly renovated classroom.
