It looks smooth but in reality it is as rocky and bumpy as hell.

The school which is for 89 kids over all the years. One paid Aeta teacher and a volunteer (unpaid) non Aeta.
P.S. While I was taking the photo two wild boar came running out but missed them!
Food time:
They cooked 200 plus meals (we/you provided all the food) on open fires using wood from the forest. It was at this point that chaos broke out, the sight of grandmothers fighting with young kids to get at the food was heartbreaking. They were clearly very very hungry.
At this point I have to say what a hero my wife is, buying pork, chicken, pasta, vegetables for over 200 people, 108 prizes for the kids which she wrapped individually, 200 bags of candies which she divided up and wrapped individually. Lots of other incidental costs, all on a budget of HK$8000. Still there were some very happy kids for a few hours.
One thing I would challenge on the Wiki description is that although they get little official help many schools, churches, police, army, etc etc help out in an unofficial way. They also get help, or used to, from the American forces - but then the enormous Clark Airforce Base was built on their ancestral lands.
