First of its kind, Grades 5 and 6 student from around the town were given the priviledge as recipient of the project. During the nine day novena mass in honor of Santa Ana at 3pm, students from host schools (as scheduled) flocked at the church to;
1. Listen to the life story of Santa Ana including the story of how the remains of Santa Ana was found (with audio visual presentation).
2. Watch the towns history thru a slideshow prepared by the Commissionon Cultural Heritage of Santa Ana.
3. Finally to experience a tour within the old church. A top the experience they were given the priviledge to go into spaces within the church even those space which were restricted. Further, they were to climb the belfry and see the panorama of the town.
I have assisted in explaining the history of the town (said to be fast), and some spot of the church tour as I explain to the students interest. Quite tiring, the best part was that this young students learn their roots at an interesting side. Another project of Fr. Roger Yambao (Parish Priest of Santa Ana).
Other mentors were; Ma'am Briones, Ate Kis, Ma'am Nerissa and Dra. Gaddi
