- During fall 2010
FTMS has started a feeding program
for Mamanwa elementary school students in Adlay, Carrascal.
-
- It is running well and we have
established good relation to their teacher, who help us giving
food tickets to the children. As soon as they have attended
morning and afternoon class for education, they receive a ticket
and can come to our canteen and receive free breakfast and
lunch.
-
- This is a project we wish to extend to
the whole village, including preschool, elementary and High
school. Please help us run this program by
being a sponsor/donor through small monthly gifts or payments.

- June is here and FTMS will be
exposed during the Torp Conference in Örebro, Sweden. If you
are close, please come by and visit us there.

Norway, Reverend Thor Johnny Thoresen, who is present in the
Philippines until April 2010, is sharing from his
experiences in our first newsletter for 2010, as he did in
the latest editions from 2009.
-
- He gives insight in the work to
transfer the sponsors money unto practical things of need,
both for the children as for their families and the society.
During this work, Thor Johnny has been locally well-known,
since he has been taken captive twice but released when the
kidnappers understood that FTMW/FTMS is
working for the welfare of the people, independent of race,
religion or political viewpoint.

held during the month of January and a new board will soon
be introduced to you in newsletters and at FTMW page.

Three headmen of
Mamanwa called today our chairman of FTMW for an urgent
meeting due to the continuous diseases of the Mamanwa tribe. Lack
of hygiene and poverty is still an important issue to solve.
- We need more sponsors to our hygiene
projects. Are you able to contribute?
Please sign up as soon as possible!
Thanks and God bless you!

January 22 School update
We received today the report of FTMW due to that seven
out of nine of the Mamanwa children quitted elementary school
during last semester. - "We need to investigate why and what we
are able to do", was the urgent request from FTMS.
Reverend and
Chairman of FTMW, Ebenezer P. Morales, visited principal of
Adlay Elementary School and received following explanation of the
circumstances.
The
principal called already in August to an emergency meeting to
instruct the teachers and the higher level class students "not to
say something that can offend the tribe".
There are four issues that is to be solved so that Mamanwa children
can continue their proper school work.
1. Children against children |
- - It means that the
discrimination was neither from the teacher nor from the
principal.
|
2. Lack of food |
- - The children go to school and
not yet have breakfast.
- - No allowance, so during the
snack time they look at the children buying their
snacks.
|
3. Absences |
- - During fiesta, the parents
bring the children to the fiesta for 3 - 4 days, so the
children is always absent.
|
4. |
- Goes with the parents to the
mountains, to help their parents of their daily living.
|
|
- January 17 update
-
-
We received today the report of FTMW Adlay, reporting
about the situation for the Mamanwa tribe, moved in from the
jungle outside Pantukan. They are now living in Adlay since May
2007, and some of the adult are employed in the new mining
company and some in farming.
-
-
The
tribe of Mamanwa increased during the year to 27 families,
because of their relatives that come from Leyte. In the whole
2007, three children are dead because of Amoeba, and two adult
died because of tuberculoses and Ulcer. Ten persons FTMW
has brought to Madrid Hospital during the year.
-
-
In the Elementary School, discrimination of the new
darker children is that much serious, that we need to update
principal, teachers and parents to take action against it. We
have now two Mamanwa children that decide not attend in the
school again because of discrimination. It is not acceptable
that they feel lack of respect and no backup from the school
management. Help us inspire all children to feel welcome to
school. Education and later practice of education is the future
for a better country. These children are an important member in
"ang
Kapamilya ng Pilipinas!"
-
-
FTMW
does its best to the tribe, together with Manobo and citizens of
Adlay. Still there is not enough money to create good medical
examination and treatment. Tuberculoses are a comparably easy
disease to treat, but because of lack of knowledge many still
die due to this sickness.
-
-
Since the Municipal of Carrascal is increasing in responsibility
when Mamanwa now have decided to be an active part of the
community, there are also more citizen to handle with the same
small amount of tax money from the government. In short sight we
need to make investments that teach the citizens to take active
part in their own development when it comes to agriculture and
forestry.
-
-
It is now very important that as many as possible, both
locally in the Philippines and interested investors and
donors abroad help us sharing knowledge to the people. In
case you are not able to take active part, you are able to
be a sponsor to any of our children. This work continues and
cover the whole region called the CARAGA-region. God bless
you.

Urgent Prayer
request:
Last Sunday two of Mamanwa are in the hospital because of
diarrhoea. Three was brought there but two remain in the
hospital.
The outbreak of diarrhoea is a part in
the situation under which Mamanwa lives. It is important to
increase their knowledge of hygiene and nutrition.
Pray for their healing.
|
October
- Mamanwa increasing
in Adlay!
-
- Since Mamanwa only had three families in
Pantukan and started their children's education, they have now
increased to 25 families! The reason is that the Mamanwas
relatives from other places heard about their education in
Adlay, why they now have come to Adlay to attend the lessons in
the hope to receive help through education.
-
- We will therefore lift the question to
you to be a part of the help in the development of Mamanwa. Also
that we hope to reach you who is a part of LGU and Government
with this information, since it is a trial to the whole Adlay to
take part in the changes that now is undergone.
-
- We are very happy to see the positive
changes so far and have full confidence in that this process
will succeed with more job, and better qualities in the citizens
daily life. Today Mamanwa is no longer beggars, today they are a
part of the society!
|
- August
-
- FTMW have now an ongoing
educational work for tribal children in Adlay, Carrascal
with volunteer teachers from the Adlay National High
School.
-
- Last 1st batch only one teacher, a
member of GNCC Adlay, was hardly working, with help
from church members to raise the basic literacy for the
children from Mamanwa and Manobo tribe in the neighbour
area. Follow this link
-
- REPORT:
- Now in August 7, 2nd batch
started up and on our meeting we had our assignment who
will be the teacher for the following subject to teach:
-
Subject |
Volunteer Teachers |
Schedule |
Religion/Gospel hour |
Ptr. Levy Cruiz |
Tuesday & Thursday |
Filipino |
Ging-ging |
Tuesday & Thursday |
English |
Mrs. Remy Suniel |
Saturday |
Science |
Mr. Rafael Anahaw |

Math |
Mr. Jonathan Limbago |
Saturday |
-
- The high school teachers choose
only Saturdays because they are teaching the high school
students from Monday to Saturday. I am sure that these
2nd batch literacy the children will acquire more
knowledge compared from the 1st batch, because there are
already individual teachers for every subject.
|
- July
-
- Family, that have received sponsor in
Sweden, is found missing in their registered address since
the father of the family deceased in 2005. The family is
told to be living in the street and FTMW started to
investigate where the family has gone. Eventually, in August
9, the family was found.
-
- We hope to be able to help them from
a life in the streets to a better life with education to the
children. Still we are missing two sponsors to children in
this family. Are you interested to be one of them? Contact
us instantly. Money is used to the whole family in this
situation.

utilities for the school, since they can not afford it.

May 30
- FTMW invites the citizens to a
recognition program for the Mamanwa tribal people with the
theme: "Train up a child in the way he should go"
Nine children is applying to the Elementary
school. Their registration is done, they has made an entrance
test and all nine passed! In June the school start with nine
children aged 7 to 14, split up in two grade one classes.
|
Beginning of April
- Mamanwa tribe from Pantukan
settlement came down to Adlay to prepare for their children
to apply to Adlay Elementary school.
Much time is spent to register the children
to the register to receive birth certificates. Actually no one
in their families is registered before which make it even
harder.
