Windows7ako on Brigada Eskwela

Every year Microsoft Philippines selects a school for Brigada Eskwela. This year the lucky school is the Cayetano Arellano Elementary School located in Caloocan City.  By the way Brigada Eskwela (can be literally translated as School Brigade) is a volunteer activity wherein members of the community will go to the schools to help in the repair, repainting and cleaning of the classrooms in preparation for opening of the school year.   This happens every summer where parents, school alumnus and volunteers will help the school faculty and staffs to prepare the entire school before the opening of classes in June.

Last May 26, 2011 a team of volunteers from Microsoft Philippines composed of Microsoft employees, MVPs, Student Partners, and some members of the windows7ako community went to Cayetano Arellano Elementary School ready to do some hard work and to get their hands dirty to prepare the said school.  some of us painted the walls, repaired damaged tables and chairs, cleaned the dusty classrooms, and others painted the tables and chairs.  The activity lasted for five hours, but that five hours is all we need to accomplish our assigned tasks.  We left the school after having our lunch, there are much work to do but I think we’ve done our best in preparing the school.

Though all of us were tired after, we left the school with all smiles.  This activity is very fulfilling, a nice way to spend a day and a way to look back and give back to the community.
