"Mabiskeg" a pangasinan term for firm and strong. This is how you describe Mabini a town from Western Pangasinan. It is one of the most hit areas of Koppu (local name Lando) a super typhoon that had hit the Philippines. Schools were hit the hardest and some were from the isolated areas of the province. This campaign is mainly focus on helping the children to get back to school. As we all know the government and charities focus on giving help mainly on their basic necessities such as food, clothes, medicines and toiletries. However Let's not forget that education is also important. Children are affected by the typhoon and they need help to get back to school.

"This project is to maximize and spread out the help people can offer. This may sound little, but a notebook can do so much especially that many families lost literally everything; it would help them get back on their feet and start again. Furthermore, the focus is on education because I was a child in that town who experienced being evacuated and all that. I could have saved other things, but my Mom would tell me to save my bag. I resolve that to parents, knowing that their children go back to school is quite a relief." -Balincaguin Conservancy

| More often than not, people who watch the news or read the paper offer relief goods, clothes, medicines, and toiletries as forms of help. Only few give attention on the education of the children who are affected, how the kids can go back to their schools. -Balincaguin Conservancy |
