Volunteers Set Up Inflatable Playground For Young Taal Victims

Volunteers Set Up Inflatable Playground in Batangas Sports Complex

VOLUNTEERS – Kind-hearted volunteers set up an inflatable playground in  Batangas Sports Complex 

Thousands of families who live near the crater of Taal volcano now camped in evacuation centers. More than 20,000 children among those who flee amid Taal wrath.

The second most active volcano erupted on Sunday. The natural disaster destroyed houses and covered it with a thick layer of ashfall. Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Duterte declared the island as ‘no man’s land.’

Filipino people are doing their best to help the families and individuals displaced by the Taal eruption. Based on a report from Smart Parenting, a teacher and speech pathologist said people should also pay extra attention to the young Taal victims. Some of them are surely traumatized by the disaster.

Recently, News5 shared several photos of the kids at the evacuation center in Batangas. Based on the caption, the volunteers were the ones who set up the inflatable playground at Batangas Sports Complex. Some may say playtime is frivolous during a crisis but it will help the children deal with the tragedy.

“Nag-set up ng inflatable playground ang mga volunteer sa Batangas Sports Complex para hindi mabagot ang mga bata sa evacuation centers.”
