Email about the school in the Philippines

We are located in the town of Carigara, island of Leyte, in the Philippines.

I teach computers to a class of 39 sixth grade students. They range in age from 10-12.

The school was formed in 1911 by an American missionary during the American occupation of the Philippines.

Emails from a teacher in the Philippines

We are hoping to learn about other countries and cultures and share our knowledge of the Philippines. ... I hope that you might like to have friends in the Philippines.

I think part of the magic for my students is that they really like having friendships. That therefore sparks interest in their friends' country and other things. ... Filipino children are really friendly and great to work with.
