ZAFMOS Volunteers At St. Francis Orphanage
It has always been our organization's goal to educate the younger generation, to appreciate nature. It is for this very reason that ZAFMOS quite recently has offered its services to bring young children of the St. Francis Home for Abandoned Children on camping trips, and on nature hikes. We feel that if we start earlyin the education of the younger generation to help conserve our mountains and forests, then we will be preparing them to help in the never ending battle to save our ecology.
By the way we would like to urge other organizations to help St. Francis Home for Abandoned Children. They presently have 80 wards in their care, all of whom need sponsors for shoes, clothing, their education, and perhaps a volunteer father or mother who can give them advices as they grow up.

The pictures here are of our recent climb to Mount Kanlaon. It was a terrific experience last April, when the four of us, Danny Tuazon, Joseph Nanquil, Jonathan Racho made it up to the top of the mountain. We also had the chance to meet with a group of young mountaineers led by Gideon.
We had an excellent group of guides headed by Ray, who made the climb for us an enjoyable one. It was challenging for 40 something guys to be climbing up a mountain this high, but definitely its an experience iI wouldn't pass.
