[MIKE] Well, Steve and Teresa,
00:00:00.73\00:00:02.40
we have come to the end of our
00:00:02.40\00:00:03.60
time on this pristine island,
00:00:03.60\00:00:05.53
this beautiful island of
00:00:05.53\00:00:06.50
Sumaoy.
00:00:06.50\00:00:07.70
Where are we going next?
00:00:07.70\00:00:09.00
[STEVE] Well, we're gonna go and
00:00:09.00\00:00:09.94
take you to the Hidden Village.
00:00:09.94\00:00:10.87
[MIKE] The Hidden Village?
00:00:10.87\00:00:12.04
Why do they call it the Hidden
00:00:12.04\00:00:12.97
Village?
00:00:12.97\00:00:13.61
[STEVE] Well, let's go find out.
00:00:13.68\00:00:14.68
[MIKE] Awesome, let's go.
00:00:14.68\00:00:15.84
[STEVE] All right.
00:00:15.84\00:00:16.48
[RENÉ] Let's go!
00:00:16.48\00:00:17.71

00:01:10.07\00:01:13.13
[chatter and laughter]
00:01:24.08\00:01:27.75
>> Welcome to It Is Written
00:01:30.82\00:01:32.05
Canada.
00:01:32.05\00:01:32.95
Thank you for joining us.
00:01:32.95\00:01:34.36
We are in the Philippines again
00:01:34.36\00:01:36.09
with ADRA Canada and we're
00:01:36.09\00:01:37.53
visiting this little remote
00:01:37.53\00:01:39.96
village, this barangay of
00:01:39.96\00:01:42.86
Sagrada, which actually means
00:01:42.86\00:01:44.77
"sacred."
00:01:44.77\00:01:45.67
And we're here with Steve
00:01:45.67\00:01:47.44
Matthews, who is the CEO of ADRA
00:01:47.44\00:01:49.84
Canada, and Teresa Ferreira, who
00:01:49.84\00:01:52.54
is with Philanthropy and
00:01:52.54\00:01:54.58
Marketing.
00:01:54.58\00:01:55.61
So Steve and Teresa, thank you
00:01:55.61\00:01:57.85
for inviting us to come to this
00:01:57.85\00:02:00.82
remote location, be here with
00:02:00.82\00:02:02.55
you out in the field.
00:02:02.55\00:02:03.89
>> And thanks so much for
00:02:04.25\00:02:05.72
traveling such a great distance
00:02:05.72\00:02:07.19
to be here with us as well.
00:02:07.19\00:02:09.82
>> We promise you it's worth it.
00:02:09.82\00:02:11.59
[MIKE] Yeah, I can see when we
00:02:11.59\00:02:13.63
came in here on a boat, you
00:02:13.63\00:02:15.00
promised us this would be the
00:02:15.00\00:02:16.83
Hidden Village and it really is
00:02:16.83\00:02:19.30
a hidden village.
00:02:19.30\00:02:20.50
[STEVE] Yeah, wasn't it amazing
00:02:20.50\00:02:21.74
just kind of going through the
00:02:21.74\00:02:22.94
mangroves to get here?
00:02:22.94\00:02:24.41
>> It was, it was.
00:02:24.41\00:02:25.61
Yeah, it was kind of intriguing
00:02:25.61\00:02:28.21
when you said that it was a
00:02:28.21\00:02:29.18
hidden village and then when we
00:02:29.18\00:02:30.28
came there, I was like, "Where
00:02:30.28\00:02:31.35
is this village?"
00:02:31.35\00:02:32.31
And we kept going, you know,
00:02:32.31\00:02:34.08
serpentine through all of these
00:02:34.08\00:02:36.02
mangroves and eventually we came
00:02:36.02\00:02:37.49
to this little cove.
00:02:37.49\00:02:39.82
And it's really amazing village.
00:02:39.82\00:02:42.29
I haven't seen anything like
00:02:42.29\00:02:43.22
this before.
00:02:43.22\00:02:44.26
>> I'm really anxious to go and
00:02:44.26\00:02:46.06
meet the people of Sagrada.
00:02:46.06\00:02:48.26
But before we go, I wonder if
00:02:48.26\00:02:50.77
you can tell me, these projects
00:02:50.77\00:02:52.87
are really extensive.
00:02:52.87\00:02:55.10
Where does ADRA Canada get the
00:02:55.10\00:02:56.84
funding from?
00:02:56.84\00:02:58.17
>> Well, René, that's a great
00:02:58.44\00:02:59.71
question.
00:02:59.71\00:03:00.84
We have significant partnerships
00:03:00.84\00:03:03.08
that we leverage funding from,
00:03:03.08\00:03:05.11
specifically with Government of
00:03:05.11\00:03:07.18
Canada, so GAC, we're with
00:03:07.18\00:03:09.55
Canadian Foodgrains Bank, CFGB,
00:03:09.55\00:03:12.22
other partners that we have
00:03:12.22\00:03:13.49
along the way as well.
00:03:13.49\00:03:15.19
And so when you look at that,
00:03:15.19\00:03:16.79
you think the funding all comes
00:03:16.79\00:03:18.13
from there.
00:03:18.13\00:03:19.16
But the component that is so
00:03:19.16\00:03:20.83
important for ADRA Canada is
00:03:20.83\00:03:22.80
connected to our donors.
00:03:22.80\00:03:24.33
In order to access some of those
00:03:24.33\00:03:26.00
funds, we have to come up with a
00:03:26.00\00:03:27.50
match component, and that's
00:03:27.50\00:03:29.40
where we rely on our very
00:03:29.40\00:03:31.17
faithful donors.
00:03:31.17\00:03:32.67
And so when they give, that
00:03:32.67\00:03:34.68
empowers us to access greater
00:03:34.68\00:03:37.11
moneys.
00:03:37.11\00:03:38.15
But if we did not have that
00:03:38.15\00:03:39.51
match component, we wouldn't
00:03:39.51\00:03:40.88
have a seat at the table with
00:03:40.88\00:03:42.22
these other partnerships.
00:03:42.22\00:03:43.95
And so that's what allows us the
00:03:43.95\00:03:45.79
leverage to really go for a long
00:03:45.79\00:03:48.12
term of development within these
00:03:48.12\00:03:50.63
communities.
00:03:50.63\00:03:51.69
>> I always like to say that by
00:03:52.26\00:03:53.66
doing that, we're able to
00:03:53.66\00:03:55.00
multiply the funds that come
00:03:55.00\00:03:57.20
in to us.
00:03:57.20\00:03:58.10
So when someone gives a dollar,
00:03:58.10\00:03:59.83
it never is just a dollar.
00:03:59.83\00:04:01.70
It's, it goes toward being able
00:04:01.70\00:04:04.07
to access funds that sometimes
00:04:04.07\00:04:05.57
can be maybe two times,
00:04:05.57\00:04:07.28
sometimes four, five times or
00:04:07.28\00:04:09.18
even higher at times with being
00:04:09.18\00:04:12.25
able to access those additional
00:04:12.25\00:04:13.45
funds.
00:04:13.45\00:04:14.38
>> And our donors love that.
00:04:14.38\00:04:15.82
I just remember a campaign that
00:04:15.82\00:04:17.12
we did through the summer, and
00:04:17.12\00:04:18.45
even my dear grandmother, who's
00:04:18.45\00:04:19.85
out west, she was like, I must
00:04:19.85\00:04:22.06
get my money into ADRA because
00:04:22.06\00:04:23.66
there's a match component,
00:04:23.66\00:04:25.16
right?
00:04:25.16\00:04:25.93
And so that speaks their
00:04:25.93\00:04:27.00
language as well.
00:04:27.00\00:04:28.00
So when we have that ability to
00:04:28.00\00:04:29.50
do that, it empowers them to
00:04:29.50\00:04:31.50
say, yes, you know, I can give
00:04:31.50\00:04:33.27
even more to an ADRA project so
00:04:33.27\00:04:36.14
that I can make a difference in
00:04:36.14\00:04:37.27
someone's life.
00:04:37.27\00:04:38.51
>> Well, thank you for sharing
00:04:38.77\00:04:39.94
that with us.
00:04:39.94\00:04:40.78
So we're-- I'm really looking
00:04:40.78\00:04:41.78
forward to going into Sagrada,
00:04:41.78\00:04:43.65
so...
00:04:43.65\00:04:44.55
[STEVE] Great, let's go.
00:04:44.55\00:04:45.28
[TERESA] Let's go see.
00:04:45.28\00:04:45.95
[MIKE] Let's do that.
00:04:45.95\00:04:46.51
[STEVE] Yes.
00:04:46.51\00:04:47.28
[cheery music playing]
00:04:47.28\00:04:50.09
¤¤
00:04:50.09\00:04:52.65
>> We are visiting in the home
00:04:53.42\00:04:54.76
of George and Mirasol Madela
00:04:54.76\00:04:57.33
here in Sagrada in the
00:04:57.33\00:04:58.63
Philippines.
00:04:58.63\00:04:59.73
George and Mirasol, thank you
00:04:59.73\00:05:01.16
for inviting us into your home.
00:05:01.16\00:05:03.33
[speaking in native language]
00:05:03.33\00:05:04.97
[MIKE] Yeah, it's good to
00:05:05.10\00:05:06.20
be here.
00:05:06.20\00:05:06.94
Tell us a little bit about
00:05:06.94\00:05:07.94
yourselves, about your family,
00:05:07.94\00:05:09.70
how many children you have and
00:05:09.70\00:05:11.81
what do you like about living
00:05:11.81\00:05:13.34
here in Sagrada?
00:05:13.34\00:05:15.38
[speaking in native language]
00:05:16.38\00:05:18.85
[TRANSLATION] Life here in
00:05:19.35\00:05:20.72
Sagrada is very good.
00:05:20.72\00:05:22.98
You have two main choices on how
00:05:22.98\00:05:24.52
to make a living.
00:05:24.52\00:05:26.12
You can be a coconut farmer
00:05:26.12\00:05:28.06
or you can be a fisherman.
00:05:28.06\00:05:29.96
I have lived here since I was a
00:05:29.96\00:05:31.16
young boy, and we are very
00:05:31.16\00:05:33.40
happy here.
00:05:33.40\00:05:34.63
We have raised our family here,
00:05:34.63\00:05:36.60
two boys and two girls.
00:05:36.60\00:05:38.70
>> This is kind of a personal
00:05:38.70\00:05:39.73
question.
00:05:39.73\00:05:40.40
Tell us a little bit about your
00:05:40.47\00:05:41.24
love story.
00:05:41.24\00:05:41.97
How did you meet?
00:05:41.97\00:05:43.17
[speaking in native language]
00:05:44.51\00:05:46.71
[TRANSLATION] We do not come
00:05:47.38\00:05:48.38
from the same part of the
00:05:48.38\00:05:49.78
Philippines.
00:05:49.78\00:05:51.35
George was from this village and
00:05:51.35\00:05:53.28
I grew up far away from here in
00:05:53.28\00:05:55.45
the southern part of the
00:05:55.45\00:05:56.45
country.
00:05:56.45\00:05:57.85
We met when we were both young
00:05:57.85\00:05:59.49
and working in Manila.
00:05:59.49\00:06:01.16
We worked for different
00:06:02.16\00:06:03.32
companies, but stayed at
00:06:03.32\00:06:04.76
boarding houses that were right
00:06:04.76\00:06:06.33
next to each other.
00:06:06.33\00:06:08.06
The first time we met, George
00:06:08.06\00:06:09.66
was actually courting another
00:06:09.66\00:06:11.00
girl who was staying in the same
00:06:11.00\00:06:12.70
boarding house as me.
00:06:12.70\00:06:14.20
I even helped the two of them
00:06:14.87\00:06:16.54
get to know each other.
00:06:16.54\00:06:17.87
Eventually we all moved back to
00:06:18.67\00:06:20.24
our hometown, but a couple of
00:06:20.24\00:06:23.08
years later I came back to
00:06:23.08\00:06:25.35
Manila for work and who should I
00:06:25.35\00:06:27.38
meet again but George, who had
00:06:27.38\00:06:30.19
also come back to find
00:06:30.19\00:06:31.39
more work.
00:06:31.39\00:06:32.85
This time we were the ones to
00:06:32.85\00:06:34.76
start courting.
00:06:34.76\00:06:36.12
We fell in love and got married.
00:06:36.59\00:06:38.99
We decided to move back here to
00:06:39.49\00:06:41.36
Sagrada and raise our family
00:06:41.36\00:06:43.37
here.
00:06:43.37\00:06:44.70
>> So are you both happy?
00:06:44.70\00:06:46.53
[BOTH] Yes, I'm very happy.
00:06:46.53\00:06:48.17
>> Both of you are very happy.
00:06:48.17\00:06:49.37
That's really good.
00:06:49.37\00:06:50.37
That's awesome.
00:06:50.37\00:06:51.37
Sagrada is known as a hidden
00:06:51.97\00:06:53.54
village because of the
00:06:53.54\00:06:54.61
mangroves, and so we had to wind
00:06:54.61\00:06:56.58
our way through those and it was
00:06:56.58\00:06:57.81
very beautiful.
00:06:57.81\00:06:58.85
It's amazing that there was
00:06:58.85\00:07:00.05
actually a village at the end of
00:07:00.05\00:07:01.85
all of that.
00:07:01.85\00:07:02.95
What's it like to live in the
00:07:02.95\00:07:04.79
mangroves?
00:07:04.79\00:07:05.82
[TRANSLATION] We are very proud
00:07:09.42\00:07:11.19
of our mangroves.
00:07:11.19\00:07:12.93
We have 354 hectares of
00:07:12.93\00:07:15.86
mangroves that give us food in
00:07:15.86\00:07:18.27
the way of large fish and all
00:07:18.27\00:07:20.67
kinds of seafood.
00:07:20.67\00:07:22.10
As a bonus, the mangroves give
00:07:22.80\00:07:25.61
us protection from typhoons and
00:07:25.61\00:07:28.38
tsunamis.
00:07:28.38\00:07:30.05
We are a hidden village and also
00:07:30.05\00:07:33.58
a protected village.
00:07:33.58\00:07:35.95
We are very fortunate to live
00:07:35.95\00:07:37.52
here.
00:07:37.52\00:07:38.52
>> When we came into the village
00:07:39.02\00:07:40.79
of Sagrada, we noticed that
00:07:40.79\00:07:41.89
there were a lot of children.
00:07:41.89\00:07:43.69
What's it like for the children
00:07:43.69\00:07:45.49
living here?
00:07:45.49\00:07:46.33
I mean, is there a good school
00:07:46.33\00:07:48.00
and how many children are here?
00:07:48.00\00:07:49.80
[TRANSLATION] I am not really
00:07:52.07\00:07:53.23
sure how many kids there are in
00:07:53.23\00:07:55.37
Sagrada.
00:07:55.37\00:07:56.71
You are right, there are a lot.
00:07:56.71\00:07:58.81
The children here live carefree
00:07:59.51\00:08:01.81
lives.
00:08:01.81\00:08:03.24
They are free to safely play
00:08:03.24\00:08:05.85
anywhere in the village.
00:08:05.85\00:08:07.92
They play in the river, in the
00:08:07.92\00:08:09.82
fields, and up in the hills.
00:08:09.82\00:08:12.99
But they are also respectful and
00:08:12.99\00:08:15.09
help their parents with
00:08:15.09\00:08:16.83
household chores.
00:08:16.83\00:08:18.26
We have a school here that goes
00:08:18.89\00:08:20.46
up to grade six.
00:08:20.46\00:08:22.50
After that, the children have to
00:08:22.50\00:08:24.80
walk about 40 minutes to get to
00:08:24.80\00:08:27.34
the next village to continue
00:08:27.34\00:08:29.27
their education.
00:08:29.27\00:08:30.61
>> George and Mirasol, how long
00:08:31.71\00:08:33.88
has ADRA been working in
00:08:33.88\00:08:36.01
Sagrada, and has it made a
00:08:36.01\00:08:38.81
difference to the lifestyle
00:08:38.81\00:08:40.82
here?
00:08:40.82\00:08:41.88
[TRANSLATION] ADRA began working
00:08:44.65\00:08:45.89
here sometime around 2016
00:08:45.89\00:08:48.79
or 2017.
00:08:48.79\00:08:50.63
We are very thankful that ADRA
00:08:51.29\00:08:53.19
came to work in Sagrada.
00:08:53.19\00:08:55.63
One of the things that has been
00:08:55.63\00:08:56.93
the most helpful for us is the
00:08:56.93\00:08:59.53
knowledge that we have gained
00:08:59.53\00:09:01.84
about the importance of balanced
00:09:01.84\00:09:04.37
nutrition and how to provide
00:09:04.37\00:09:07.08
that for our children with
00:09:07.08\00:09:08.88
kitchen gardens.
00:09:08.88\00:09:10.35
ADRA gave us training, tools,
00:09:10.98\00:09:13.98
and seeds.
00:09:13.98\00:09:15.25
The tools were very good
00:09:15.98\00:09:17.79
quality.
00:09:17.79\00:09:19.25
I'm still using the tools that
00:09:19.25\00:09:20.92
ADRA gave us back in 2017.
00:09:20.92\00:09:23.56
They are old now, but they have
00:09:24.43\00:09:26.86
served us well.
00:09:26.86\00:09:28.16
Now the TOGETHER project has
00:09:29.06\00:09:31.13
given us a new set of tools.
00:09:31.13\00:09:33.57
But I am saving those until we
00:09:34.14\00:09:36.30
really need to replace the
00:09:36.30\00:09:38.01
old ones.
00:09:38.01\00:09:39.34
ADRA gave us so much instruction
00:09:40.74\00:09:43.75
on how to live better lives.
00:09:43.75\00:09:45.61
Everything that they have taught
00:09:46.25\00:09:47.58
us, we have tried our best to
00:09:47.58\00:09:49.62
apply to our everyday lives.
00:09:49.62\00:09:52.15
One of the things that was a big
00:09:52.82\00:09:54.46
help not only for us but for the
00:09:54.46\00:09:57.36
whole village was the comfort
00:09:57.36\00:10:00.10
rooms that ADRA helped us build.
00:10:00.10\00:10:02.56
>> George and Mirasol, you
00:10:04.57\00:10:06.03
mentioned a comfort room.
00:10:06.03\00:10:07.84
In Canada we call it a bathroom
00:10:07.84\00:10:09.67
or a toilet.
00:10:09.67\00:10:10.91
Obviously, that made a
00:10:11.74\00:10:13.07
difference because you didn't
00:10:13.07\00:10:14.18
have one in your house and you
00:10:14.18\00:10:15.51
didn't have them here in the
00:10:15.51\00:10:16.54
village.
00:10:16.54\00:10:17.31
How has that made a difference
00:10:17.31\00:10:18.85
to the village now that ADRA
00:10:18.85\00:10:22.18
helped you to put in these
00:10:22.18\00:10:24.32
toilets?
00:10:24.32\00:10:25.39
[TRANSLATION] Before we had the
00:10:28.59\00:10:29.89
comfort rooms, when the children
00:10:29.89\00:10:31.83
needed to poop, they would just
00:10:31.83\00:10:33.96
stop and poop wherever they
00:10:33.96\00:10:35.53
were.
00:10:35.53\00:10:36.56
They would poop in the river.
00:10:36.56\00:10:38.80
So now that all of the families
00:10:38.80\00:10:40.70
have their own comfort room, the
00:10:40.70\00:10:42.74
sanitation of the whole village
00:10:42.74\00:10:44.77
has greatly improved.
00:10:44.77\00:10:46.54
>> So, Mirasol and George, ADRA
00:10:47.41\00:10:50.55
has been here in Sagrada for six
00:10:50.55\00:10:54.48
or seven years.
00:10:54.48\00:10:56.42
When you speak to your friends
00:10:56.42\00:10:58.79
and other people in the village,
00:10:58.79\00:11:01.32
what are their thoughts about
00:11:01.32\00:11:03.46
ADRA Canada?
00:11:03.46\00:11:04.93
[TRANSLATION] Yes, the people
00:11:07.13\00:11:08.63
here do gossip about ADRA, but
00:11:08.63\00:11:11.63
it is all good gossip.
00:11:11.63\00:11:14.60
The people here praise ADRA
00:11:14.60\00:11:17.24
because of all of the help that
00:11:17.24\00:11:18.74
they have received over
00:11:18.74\00:11:20.01
the years.
00:11:20.01\00:11:21.34
Nothing but praise and
00:11:21.34\00:11:23.65
thankfulness.
00:11:23.65\00:11:24.98
>> George and Mirasol, people
00:11:26.58\00:11:28.82
across Canada will be watching
00:11:28.82\00:11:30.85
this program and so I wonder if
00:11:30.85\00:11:33.39
you would like to take the
00:11:33.39\00:11:34.72
opportunity to thank the people
00:11:34.72\00:11:37.49
for supporting and for bringing
00:11:37.49\00:11:39.56
these projects to your village
00:11:39.56\00:11:41.46
here in Sagrada.
00:11:41.46\00:11:43.77
[TRANSLATION] To the people of
00:11:46.00\00:11:47.14
Canada I would say thank you for
00:11:47.14\00:11:49.94
your unending support for our
00:11:49.94\00:11:52.44
community.
00:11:52.44\00:11:54.21
Please don't ever stop helping
00:11:54.21\00:11:56.28
barangays like Sagrada.
00:11:56.28\00:11:59.05
There is still so much need.
00:11:59.05\00:12:01.22
I wish the people of Canada many
00:12:01.95\00:12:04.65
blessings for the help that they
00:12:04.65\00:12:06.59
have given.
00:12:06.59\00:12:07.69
[TRANSLATION] We are very
00:12:10.86\00:12:12.99
thankful for ADRA and all the
00:12:12.99\00:12:15.70
help that we've received from
00:12:15.70\00:12:17.10
the people of Canada.
00:12:17.10\00:12:18.67
Even if ADRA held activities
00:12:19.33\00:12:21.47
here every day, we would stop
00:12:21.47\00:12:24.17
what we are doing and be sure
00:12:24.17\00:12:26.01
to attend.
00:12:26.01\00:12:27.21
We will never grow tired of the
00:12:27.88\00:12:30.41
things that ADRA is doing for
00:12:30.41\00:12:32.35
our community.
00:12:32.35\00:12:33.62
Thank you very much, people of
00:12:34.55\00:12:37.39
Canada.
00:12:37.39\00:12:38.49
>> Thanks so much, George and
00:12:39.45\00:12:40.59
Mirasol.
00:12:40.59\00:12:41.26
That was very nice.
00:12:41.26\00:12:42.26
Thank you for welcoming us into
00:12:42.26\00:12:43.59
your home and for sharing with
00:12:43.59\00:12:45.33
us about your lives and also
00:12:45.33\00:12:48.10
about how you have been blessed
00:12:48.10\00:12:50.47
and for thanking the people
00:12:50.47\00:12:52.07
of Canada.
00:12:52.07\00:12:53.10
>> Thank you, Mike and René.
00:12:53.10\00:12:55.04
Thank you very much.
00:12:55.04\00:12:56.57
Welcome and thank you.

00:13:03.45\00:13:05.81
>> We are visiting with Sheila
00:13:09.78\00:13:11.42
Madela in her parental home and
00:13:11.42\00:13:14.69
Sheila is a youth champion for
00:13:14.69\00:13:17.69
the TOGETHER project.
00:13:17.69\00:13:20.00
Sheila, thank you so much for
00:13:20.00\00:13:21.76
welcoming us into your home.
00:13:21.76\00:13:24.63
>> Thank you, Mike and René, for
00:13:25.07\00:13:26.57
having me here.
00:13:26.57\00:13:28.47
It's nice meeting you, too.
00:13:28.47\00:13:30.24
>> Sheila, what does it mean to
00:13:30.24\00:13:31.97
be a youth champion for ADRA
00:13:31.97\00:13:33.98
Canada?
00:13:33.98\00:13:35.08
[speaking in native language]
00:13:35.24\00:13:37.51
[TRANSLATION] As a youth
00:13:38.65\00:13:39.71
champion for ADRA, I have
00:13:39.71\00:13:41.48
learned a lot about adolescence
00:13:41.48\00:13:43.52
and I am now sharing what I have
00:13:43.52\00:13:44.75
learned with the other young
00:13:44.75\00:13:45.92
people of my village.
00:13:45.92\00:13:47.22
>> Sheila, what did you have to
00:13:47.22\00:13:48.76
do to become a youth champion?
00:13:48.76\00:13:51.36
[TRANSLATION] The first thing
00:13:53.43\00:13:54.36
that you need to do is go for
00:13:54.36\00:13:55.66
training with ADRA.
00:13:55.66\00:13:57.63
They call it training of
00:13:57.63\00:13:58.87
trainers.
00:13:58.87\00:14:00.30
So I got together with lots of
00:14:00.30\00:14:01.64
other young people from many
00:14:01.64\00:14:03.24
villages around, and we learned
00:14:03.24\00:14:05.17
all of the key messages of ADRA
00:14:05.17\00:14:07.18
and how to become facilitators.
00:14:07.18\00:14:09.18
>> Sheila I see you have an
00:14:10.41\00:14:12.45
educational training tool
00:14:12.45\00:14:14.28
behind you.
00:14:14.28\00:14:15.85
Can you show us how you use it
00:14:15.85\00:14:18.09
to facilitate the key messages
00:14:18.09\00:14:20.52
of the TOGETHER project?
00:14:20.52\00:14:22.32
[speaking in native language]
00:14:22.69\00:14:24.96
[TRANSLATION] Yes, this is the
00:14:25.83\00:14:27.13
flip chart that ADRA has
00:14:27.13\00:14:28.60
prepared for all of the youth
00:14:28.60\00:14:29.66
champions.
00:14:29.66\00:14:31.40
Having a visual aid like this
00:14:31.40\00:14:32.90
really makes it easier for us to
00:14:32.90\00:14:34.60
present our lessons.
00:14:34.60\00:14:36.64
The program covers many issues
00:14:36.64\00:14:38.41
that young people face as they
00:14:38.41\00:14:39.81
are growing up.
00:14:39.81\00:14:41.21
Some of the lessons teach us how
00:14:41.21\00:14:42.44
to take good care of our bodies.
00:14:42.44\00:14:44.45
There is a lesson on the
00:14:44.91\00:14:45.95
importance of preventing teenage
00:14:45.95\00:14:47.42
pregnancy.
00:14:47.42\00:14:48.45
We talk about reproductive
00:14:48.78\00:14:50.05
health and rights, women's
00:14:50.05\00:14:51.79
rights not to be abused, gender
00:14:51.79\00:14:54.09
based violence, gender equality,
00:14:54.09\00:14:56.52
and human rights.
00:14:56.52\00:14:58.13
These are just some of the
00:14:58.13\00:14:59.13
topics that we cover in our
00:14:59.13\00:15:00.33
sessions.
00:15:00.33\00:15:01.46
>> Wow, Sheila, that is a very
00:15:02.26\00:15:04.13
comprehensive teaching tool.
00:15:04.13\00:15:06.77
How do you find the students or
00:15:06.77\00:15:10.14
the young people respond to it
00:15:10.14\00:15:13.11
when you teach them because
00:15:13.11\00:15:14.34
you're teaching them a lot of
00:15:14.34\00:15:16.31
information and it's very
00:15:16.31\00:15:18.45
practical.
00:15:18.45\00:15:19.55
[speaking in native language]
00:15:20.25\00:15:22.85
[TRANSLATION] At first some of
00:15:24.29\00:15:25.49
the students would laugh because
00:15:25.49\00:15:27.52
some of the illustrations are
00:15:27.52\00:15:28.96
quite graphic.
00:15:28.96\00:15:30.53
But I have come up with
00:15:30.53\00:15:31.56
strategies and stories that help
00:15:31.56\00:15:33.06
the participants listen and
00:15:33.06\00:15:34.56
learn.
00:15:34.56\00:15:35.50
The flip chart really does a lot
00:15:35.50\00:15:36.87
to hold their attention.
00:15:36.87\00:15:38.20
>> How big are your groups,
00:15:39.90\00:15:41.40
Sheila?
00:15:41.40\00:15:42.34
How many youth do you have in a
00:15:42.34\00:15:44.61
group and do you have boys and
00:15:44.61\00:15:47.44
girls together in the group that
00:15:47.44\00:15:49.54
you're teaching?
00:15:49.54\00:15:50.78
[TRANSLATION] The training
00:15:54.08\00:15:55.05
groups are divided into girls
00:15:55.05\00:15:56.15
groups and boys groups.
00:15:56.15\00:15:58.39
I'm doing the training for just
00:15:58.39\00:15:59.89
the girls and women in Sagrada.
00:15:59.89\00:16:01.99
I facilitate four groups.
00:16:03.09\00:16:05.59
We have about 30 in each group,
00:16:05.59\00:16:07.30
so all together, a total of
00:16:07.30\00:16:08.53
around 120 girls and women.
00:16:08.53\00:16:10.80
>> Sheila, you put a lot of
00:16:11.27\00:16:13.17
effort into this and you do a
00:16:13.17\00:16:15.27
great job, you're really
00:16:15.27\00:16:16.60
dedicated to this.
00:16:16.60\00:16:17.81
I'm sure the young ladies and
00:16:17.81\00:16:20.51
the women of Sagrada are really
00:16:20.51\00:16:22.61
appreciative.
00:16:22.61\00:16:23.88
Why do you do this?
00:16:23.88\00:16:25.45
[TRANSLATION] Well, at first I
00:16:28.75\00:16:30.05
just wanted to learn.
00:16:30.05\00:16:31.82
I value knowledge.
00:16:31.82\00:16:33.76
But then as I took the training,
00:16:33.76\00:16:35.52
I also developed a sense of
00:16:35.52\00:16:36.76
responsibility to share this
00:16:36.76\00:16:38.43
knowledge with all of the young
00:16:38.43\00:16:39.69
people of my village.
00:16:39.69\00:16:41.66
They needed to know what
00:16:41.66\00:16:42.70
I now knew.
00:16:42.70\00:16:44.37
The problem was that I was a
00:16:44.37\00:16:45.67
very shy person.
00:16:45.67\00:16:47.17
I had no confidence.
00:16:47.17\00:16:49.00
But the ADRA training really
00:16:49.00\00:16:50.17
helped us with that as well.
00:16:50.17\00:16:51.81
We practiced speaking in front
00:16:52.27\00:16:53.94
of people.
00:16:53.94\00:16:55.44
Now I am no longer shy and I
00:16:55.44\00:16:57.38
have a lot more confidence
00:16:57.38\00:16:58.71
in myself.
00:16:58.71\00:17:00.08
Presenting in front of people is
00:17:00.08\00:17:01.65
no longer a problem for me.
00:17:01.65\00:17:03.52
>> Sheila, I'm so happy that
00:17:04.05\00:17:06.86
this program has helped you to
00:17:06.86\00:17:08.56
build confidence and also I want
00:17:08.56\00:17:11.79
you to know that you are making
00:17:11.79\00:17:13.70
a big difference in so many
00:17:13.70\00:17:16.26
people's lives.
00:17:16.26\00:17:17.40
Thank you for doing this.
00:17:17.40\00:17:19.30
>> Sheila, also, one more
00:17:19.77\00:17:21.00
question.
00:17:21.00\00:17:21.94
Why do you think ADRA has taken
00:17:23.14\00:17:25.27
the approach of getting young
00:17:25.27\00:17:27.54
people, youth like yourself, to
00:17:27.54\00:17:29.71
train young people, to teach
00:17:29.71\00:17:31.81
young people rather than getting
00:17:31.81\00:17:33.28
an adult to train young people?
00:17:33.28\00:17:36.25
Do you think it makes a big
00:17:36.25\00:17:37.25
difference?
00:17:37.25\00:17:38.39
Do you think it's more
00:17:38.39\00:17:39.19
approachable that they're
00:17:39.19\00:17:40.29
listening to you more so than
00:17:40.29\00:17:41.79
they would listen to an adult?
00:17:41.79\00:17:43.56
[TRANSLATION] I think that it's
00:17:45.99\00:17:47.13
a good strategy to have youth
00:17:47.13\00:17:48.76
teaching youth, especially when
00:17:48.76\00:17:50.70
covering some of these sensitive
00:17:50.70\00:17:52.30
topics.
00:17:52.30\00:17:53.23
If it was an adult who was
00:17:53.97\00:17:55.34
teaching as a superior, some of
00:17:55.34\00:17:57.84
the young people might be afraid
00:17:57.84\00:17:59.61
to open up and ask questions.
00:17:59.61\00:18:02.11
When a young person is talking
00:18:02.11\00:18:03.24
about these things, there is an
00:18:03.24\00:18:04.65
openness and friendliness.
00:18:04.65\00:18:06.82
I think it works very well.
00:18:06.82\00:18:08.35
>> Sheila, thank you so much for
00:18:09.45\00:18:11.25
joining us on It Is Written

center in Sagrada with Lorleny
00:18:30.54\00:18:32.74
Alejandro.
00:18:32.74\00:18:34.14
Lorleny, thank you for being
00:18:34.14\00:18:37.08
willing to share with us here on
00:18:37.08\00:18:38.85
It Is Written Canada.
00:18:38.85\00:18:40.02
>> Lorleny, can you tell us a
00:18:47.82\00:18:50.23
little bit about yourself?
00:18:50.23\00:18:51.86
[speaking in native language]
00:18:52.99\00:18:54.73
[TRANSLATION] My name is
00:18:54.73\00:18:55.46
Lorleny.
00:18:55.46\00:18:56.50
I have two children.
00:18:56.50\00:18:58.13
The oldest is Maria.
00:18:58.13\00:19:00.07
She is five years old, turning
00:19:00.07\00:19:02.07
six and living with her father
00:19:02.07\00:19:03.64
in Naga City.
00:19:03.64\00:19:05.37
The second one is called Thomas
00:19:05.37\00:19:06.71
Clifford, and he's just one
00:19:06.71\00:19:08.68
year old.
00:19:08.68\00:19:09.81
He lives with me here in
00:19:10.05\00:19:11.41
Sagrada.
00:19:11.41\00:19:12.88
So it is just me.
00:19:12.88\00:19:14.68
I am a single mom and I am the
00:19:14.68\00:19:16.62
breadwinner.
00:19:16.62\00:19:18.09
[LORLENY] Excuse me.
00:19:19.85\00:19:21.39
[TRANSLATION] I got pregnant
00:19:25.93\00:19:27.03
with Maria while I was very
00:19:27.03\00:19:28.70
young, still in high school.
00:19:28.70\00:19:31.10
It was a very bad time for me.
00:19:31.10\00:19:33.30
I was teased and bullied a lot
00:19:33.30\00:19:35.54
by the other students at the
00:19:35.54\00:19:36.97
school.
00:19:36.97\00:19:38.17
And then when the baby was born,
00:19:38.17\00:19:40.38
the father of the baby took her
00:19:40.38\00:19:41.88
away from me.
00:19:41.88\00:19:43.24
>> Lorleny, thank you so much
00:19:45.68\00:19:47.72
for sharing your story with us
00:19:47.72\00:19:50.39
and I'm so sorry that you had to
00:19:50.39\00:19:53.09
go through all of that.
00:19:53.09\00:19:54.59
[MIKE] Lorleny, can you tell us,
00:19:55.96\00:19:57.13
do you have access to your
00:19:57.13\00:19:58.33
daughter?
00:19:58.33\00:19:59.16
Can you see her, can you talk to
00:19:59.16\00:20:00.30
her now?
00:20:00.30\00:20:01.30
>> I can see her on my cell
00:20:01.63\00:20:04.30
phone, but not in personally.
00:20:04.30\00:20:08.20
[TRANSLATION] Now that Maria is
00:20:09.94\00:20:11.04
starting school, we have an
00:20:11.04\00:20:12.64
arrangement where Maria stays
00:20:12.64\00:20:14.31
with her father in Naga during
00:20:14.31\00:20:16.11
the school months, and she comes
00:20:16.11\00:20:18.18
to be with me here in Sagrada
00:20:18.18\00:20:20.02
during the holidays.
00:20:20.02\00:20:21.62
>> Lorleny, why did you decide
00:20:24.15\00:20:26.65
to come back to Sagrada instead
00:20:26.65\00:20:28.42
of staying in Naga?
00:20:28.42\00:20:30.33
[TRANSLATION] I have decided to
00:20:33.03\00:20:34.20
live here in Sagrada in my
00:20:34.20\00:20:35.63
family home because of my
00:20:35.63\00:20:37.50
obligations here.
00:20:37.50\00:20:39.60
My mother needs my help to look
00:20:39.60\00:20:41.40
after the family here.
00:20:41.40\00:20:43.00
I have also become the director
00:20:43.34\00:20:45.01
of youth programs here in
00:20:45.01\00:20:46.54
Sagrada.
00:20:46.54\00:20:47.78
Now I have taken up a volunteer
00:20:48.18\00:20:51.38
role with the ADRA TOGETHER
00:20:51.38\00:20:52.88
project.
00:20:52.88\00:20:54.12
And so I feel a strong
00:20:54.12\00:20:55.72
commitment to my
00:20:55.72\00:20:56.79
responsibilities here, to my
00:20:56.79\00:20:58.69
mother and to the people of
00:20:58.69\00:21:00.36
Sagrada.
00:21:00.36\00:21:01.39
>> Lorleny, you have a great
00:21:02.96\00:21:04.36
sense of responsibility coming
00:21:04.36\00:21:05.96
back to your community, and a
00:21:05.96\00:21:08.06
part of that is the part that
00:21:08.06\00:21:10.60
you play in the TOGETHER project
00:21:10.60\00:21:13.64
with ADRA.
00:21:13.64\00:21:14.87
Do you want to tell us about
00:21:15.30\00:21:16.50
that and how you work with ADRA?
00:21:16.50\00:21:19.04
[speaking in native language]
00:21:19.47\00:21:21.58
[TRANSLATION] I am a reflect
00:21:21.58\00:21:22.71
facilitator.
00:21:22.71\00:21:24.05
The TOGETHER project has
00:21:24.05\00:21:25.51
training groups for the young
00:21:25.51\00:21:27.05
people of the village and
00:21:27.05\00:21:28.75
separate group training for the
00:21:28.75\00:21:30.62
parents.
00:21:30.62\00:21:31.82
In the youth groups, I am able
00:21:31.82\00:21:34.22
to share from my own experience
00:21:34.22\00:21:36.42
the challenges and difficulties
00:21:36.42\00:21:38.19
that come with having a baby
00:21:38.19\00:21:39.93
when you are still a teen.
00:21:39.93\00:21:41.43
When they hear my story, I think
00:21:42.30\00:21:44.57
it really hits home for them.
00:21:44.57\00:21:47.00
In the parent groups, we talk
00:21:47.00\00:21:48.87
about some of the unique
00:21:48.87\00:21:50.11
challenges of being a youth
00:21:50.11\00:21:51.84
today.
00:21:51.84\00:21:52.97
We talk about the influence of
00:21:52.97\00:21:54.51
social media and modern
00:21:54.51\00:21:56.11
technology.
00:21:56.11\00:21:57.31
We talk about the importance of
00:21:57.98\00:21:59.81
having open lines of
00:21:59.81\00:22:01.25
communication and how to develop
00:22:01.25\00:22:03.55
mutual respect.
00:22:03.55\00:22:05.12
With both group, I always spend
00:22:06.35\00:22:08.76
time talking about the Republic
00:22:08.76\00:22:10.33
Act 9262.
00:22:10.33\00:22:12.63
This is a law that the
00:22:12.99\00:22:14.66
government of the Philippines
00:22:14.66\00:22:16.50
passed that makes it illegal to
00:22:16.50\00:22:18.93
in any way be violent against
00:22:18.93\00:22:20.84
women and their children.
00:22:20.84\00:22:23.20
This has been a law for almost
00:22:23.20\00:22:24.77
20 years, and yet very few
00:22:24.77\00:22:27.58
people, especially women, know
00:22:27.58\00:22:30.05
about the law.
00:22:30.05\00:22:31.65
This law deals with more than
00:22:31.65\00:22:33.48
just physical abuse.
00:22:33.48\00:22:35.45
It also covers any kind of
00:22:35.45\00:22:37.32
psychological abuse.
00:22:37.32\00:22:38.99
I make sure that every young
00:22:39.65\00:22:41.86
girl and woman in Sagrada knows
00:22:41.86\00:22:44.43
about their rights so that they
00:22:44.43\00:22:46.43
become less vulnerable to being
00:22:46.43\00:22:48.50
abused physically or
00:22:48.50\00:22:50.57
psychologically.
00:22:50.57\00:22:51.77
>> Lorleny, you are really the
00:22:55.67\00:22:57.74
perfect person to be teaching
00:22:57.74\00:23:00.88
people about those topics so
00:23:00.88\00:23:03.18
thank you for doing that.
00:23:03.18\00:23:05.25
>> Lorleny, do you feel that the
00:23:05.25\00:23:07.08
TOGETHER project has benefited
00:23:07.08\00:23:08.98
your community and you sharing
00:23:08.98\00:23:11.29
what you share, do you think
00:23:11.29\00:23:12.65
that has made a difference?
00:23:12.65\00:23:14.19
[TRANSLATION] Yes, I believe
00:23:17.46\00:23:19.26
ADRA has made a real difference
00:23:19.26\00:23:21.00
here.
00:23:21.00\00:23:22.33
Teenage pregnancy is down.
00:23:22.33\00:23:24.67
Kids are staying in school
00:23:24.67\00:23:26.03
longer.
00:23:26.03\00:23:27.07
Young people are more aware,
00:23:27.07\00:23:29.27
more responsible.
00:23:29.27\00:23:31.27
I think they have learned how to
00:23:31.27\00:23:33.14
have more respect for themselves
00:23:33.14\00:23:35.28
and for each other.
00:23:35.28\00:23:36.98
There is less bullying.
00:23:36.98\00:23:39.21
I think that it is so important
00:23:39.21\00:23:41.92
that children as young as 12 are
00:23:41.92\00:23:44.25
learning about how wrong it is
00:23:44.25\00:23:46.52
to be violent toward anyone,
00:23:46.52\00:23:49.02
especially women and children.
00:23:49.02\00:23:51.53
I very much wish that ADRA had
00:23:51.53\00:23:54.10
been here when I was growing up
00:23:54.10\00:23:55.60
in Sagrada.
00:23:55.60\00:23:56.80
I am very happy to now be
00:23:57.57\00:23:59.57
working as a volunteer with
00:23:59.57\00:24:01.34
ADRA.
00:24:01.34\00:24:02.47
I hope that ADRA stays here with
00:24:02.47\00:24:04.47
us for a very long time.
00:24:04.47\00:24:06.51
>> Lorleny, thank you so much
00:24:10.61\00:24:12.41
for what you are doing and thank
00:24:12.41\00:24:13.95
you for sharing so deeply from
00:24:13.95\00:24:15.65

00:24:26.76\00:24:28.66
had such a lovely visit here in
00:24:28.66\00:24:31.10
the Hidden Village and it's just
00:24:31.10\00:24:32.87
amazing to think how people can
00:24:32.87\00:24:35.10
actually make a living out of
00:24:35.10\00:24:37.11
these mangroves here.
00:24:37.11\00:24:38.84
>> And all the work that you're
00:24:38.84\00:24:39.77
doing in this part of the
00:24:39.77\00:24:40.81
Philippines, probably someone is
00:24:40.81\00:24:42.94
watching who's thinking, how can
00:24:42.94\00:24:45.21
I contribute?
00:24:45.21\00:24:46.35
So what can you tell them?
00:24:46.35\00:24:48.45
>> So obviously the projects
00:24:48.45\00:24:49.75
that we do come with quite a bit
00:24:49.75\00:24:52.65
of cost and so we're always
00:24:52.65\00:24:54.36
looking for people to help
00:24:54.36\00:24:55.49
support the work that we're
00:24:55.49\00:24:56.36
doing.
00:24:56.36\00:24:57.23
We really like to encourage
00:24:57.23\00:24:59.06
monthly donors.
00:24:59.06\00:25:00.36
Monthly donors really help give
00:25:00.36\00:25:01.93
us a sustainable income.
00:25:01.93\00:25:03.47
We know how much we can count on
00:25:03.47\00:25:05.70
each month.
00:25:05.70\00:25:06.77
Another way that people can
00:25:06.77\00:25:08.07
support is through their legacy.
00:25:08.07\00:25:11.37
Leave a gift for ADRA in their
00:25:11.84\00:25:13.91
will and their giving can
00:25:13.91\00:25:16.88
outlive them.
00:25:16.88\00:25:18.48
There's also, you know, you can
00:25:19.18\00:25:21.05
check out our website, go
00:25:21.05\00:25:22.95
through, follow us on our social
00:25:22.95\00:25:24.42
media.
00:25:24.42\00:25:25.22
There's always different ways
00:25:25.22\00:25:26.09
that we're sharing about how
00:25:26.09\00:25:27.49
people can support different
00:25:27.49\00:25:29.06
causes, different projects.
00:25:29.06\00:25:31.09
So there may be something that
00:25:31.09\00:25:33.29
comes up that somebody says,
00:25:33.29\00:25:34.40
"Hey, you know, I really want to
00:25:34.40\00:25:35.53
support that."
00:25:35.53\00:25:36.56
So by following us on that, you
00:25:36.56\00:25:37.80
don't miss out on those
00:25:37.80\00:25:38.73
opportunities to support a cause
00:25:38.73\00:25:40.94
that may be particularly
00:25:40.94\00:25:42.27
interesting to an individual.
00:25:42.27\00:25:44.31
>> In fact, we're getting ready
00:25:45.17\00:25:46.51
to launch a new initiative
00:25:46.51\00:25:48.48
connected to our development
00:25:48.48\00:25:49.64
projects.
00:25:49.64\00:25:50.35
So as you've experience here in
00:25:50.35\00:25:52.11
the Philippines, what we've done
00:25:52.11\00:25:53.68
is our development programs
00:25:53.68\00:25:55.92
department has assessed capacity
00:25:55.92\00:25:57.65
there to see if there are what
00:25:57.65\00:25:59.65
we would call small but still
00:25:59.65\00:26:01.16
larger projects, somewhere in
00:26:01.16\00:26:02.46
the range of $25,000 to $150,000
00:26:02.46\00:26:05.89
that could speak the language of
00:26:05.89\00:26:07.23
a church family or that could
00:26:07.23\00:26:08.36
speak the language of a high
00:26:08.36\00:26:09.66
value donor that would say, I
00:26:09.66\00:26:12.03
want to fully fund this project.
00:26:12.03\00:26:14.57
And so in assessing the capacity
00:26:14.57\00:26:16.20
that we have here connected to
00:26:16.20\00:26:17.97
our development projects, they
00:26:17.97\00:26:19.67
would oversee those projects.
00:26:19.67\00:26:22.38
But there would be ones that we
00:26:22.38\00:26:23.75
would fully approve at our
00:26:23.75\00:26:25.51
administrative level.
00:26:25.51\00:26:26.82
So for those donors who want to
00:26:26.82\00:26:28.75
give and have the capacity to
00:26:28.75\00:26:30.52
give like that, we've just
00:26:30.52\00:26:32.55
recently fully packaged and
00:26:32.55\00:26:35.26
marketed and ready to roll out
00:26:35.26\00:26:37.06
and so they can look for that
00:26:37.06\00:26:38.36
as well.
00:26:38.36\00:26:39.23
We have a landing page where
00:26:39.23\00:26:40.83
they can go to actually see a
00:26:40.83\00:26:42.93
listing of those various
00:26:42.93\00:26:44.20
projects connected to our
00:26:44.20\00:26:45.70
developed ones.
00:26:45.70\00:26:46.77
So something exciting, another
00:26:46.77\00:26:48.80
diversified way that donors can
00:26:48.80\00:26:51.07
give to ADRA Canada.
00:26:51.07\00:26:52.54
>> Thank you, Steve and Teresa.
00:26:53.51\00:26:54.91
That is so good to know how each
00:26:54.91\00:26:57.18
of us can partner with ADRA to
00:26:57.18\00:26:58.91
help people around the world.
00:26:58.91\00:27:00.58
Thank you for joining us again
00:27:00.58\00:27:01.85

00:27:01.85\00:27:03.18
>> Yeah, it's been a pleasure.
00:27:03.65\00:27:05.22
>> And we have one more village
00:27:05.72\00:27:07.12
to tour, so more adventures
00:27:07.12\00:27:09.86
to come.
00:27:09.86\00:27:10.96
>> Friends, if you have been
00:27:11.86\00:27:13.26

00:27:13.26\00:27:15.00
passion of ADRA Canada and would
00:27:15.00\00:27:16.93
like to contribute to their work
00:27:16.93\00:27:19.03
in the Philippines and around
00:27:19.03\00:27:21.07
the world, then here's the

00:27:49.83\00:27:52.03
fullness of life found in the
00:27:52.03\00:27:53.50
words of Jesus when He said,
00:27:53.50\00:27:55.77
"It is written, 'Man shall not
00:27:55.77\00:27:57.77
live by bread alone, but by
00:27:57.77\00:28:00.21
every word that proceeds out of
00:28:00.21\00:28:02.44
the mouth of God.'"
