Joharra Eunice is teaching children in the Manila North Cemetery for the methodist Kapatiran-Kaunlaran Foundation Inc. The foundation supports people who don’t have the ability, they empower them and help them. Her young students learn about science, math, Filipino, english, writing and reading, and good moral and other values. The foundation hopes, that at least 1 out of 10 will have better opportunities.

From my interview:
"Alternative Learning System. Our goals for this is, for the kids who already left school, there’s a lot of stories here in MNC because a lot of kids here don’t really finish schooling with a lot of reasons, but mainly due poverty. And secondly, they can’t really get anything from anywhere, because their parents didn’t finish their schooling either. We know that if like that, they will face a lot of difficulties to find work or a job. It’s difficult so sustain the schooling of their kids, for us, that’s what we do. The kids who don’t really go to school at all, we put them into the programm, so if they pass the exam, we enroll them in the formal schooling. The previous year they were a lot of kids who were able to pass the Alternative Learning System. We had a lot of scholars, and we don’t just let them after they pass. We have scholarship programs, we have scholars in highscool until college, I’ve actually one story about one child who is a scholar, he went to ALS, and was able to go back to college and finish his schooling, now he is working with us at KKFI, one of the people who had been given help before, now he’s helping others. Not all will be as successful, but there is this hope that in 10 people we help there’s one who can fight for his dreams."
