These children, after all, do not always enjoy a carefree childhood. They are also tasked with household chores and other mundane duties to their families. “When I see them in school or in the streets they would thank me and that’s when I know that the project somehow made a great impact on them,” he said.Valencia, in partnership with the math department in his school, also introduced Project Wag Mathakot, which aims to familiarize students with the skills in that subject through early tutorials and other such “enhancement” activities.
Apart from attending to the needs of the youth in his community, Valencia also developed other projects to help the less fortunate residents there.
