Community Garden Tractor Donation
In
2017,
generous
partners
of
this
ministry
donated
funds
for
the
purchase
of
a
small,
second-hand
Yanmar
tractor
with
rotavator.
This
tractor
is
designated
for
use
in
the
DWM
Community
Garden
because
it
is
more
suitable
for
tilling
the
vegetable
plots
than
our
large
Kubota
tractor,
which
the
Evans
family
purchased
and
shipped
to
the
Philippines
in
2007.

Dan’s Service on the
Governor’s Commission on Education
Dan
was
asked
by
our
provincial
governor,
to
help
him
with
his
education
agenda
when
he
took
office
in
2013.
In
this
role,
Dan
has
expanded
his
work
of
many
years
to
improve
access
to
education
in
our
local
communities,
to
the
entire
province.
Some
of
his
initiatives
have
expanded
nationwide.

the
Commission,
which
contains
many
resources
for

teachers.

C0VID-19 News
The
Philippines
was
the
first
country
outside
of
China
to
report
infected
persons,
and
the
first
outside
of
China
to
have
a
virus-related
death.
Although
the
rate
of
infection
is
similar
to
other
third
world
countries,
inadequate
medical
equipment
and
expertise
produced
an
early
death
rate
of
about
5%
(compared
to
about
.01%
in
the
West).
With
the
influx
of
treatment
equipment
from
other
countries,
the
death
rate
has
tapered
off
to
about
2%
(as
of
mid-2020).
The
pandemic
has
stalled
most
DWM
ministry
due
to
government
imposed
quarantines.
Dan
has,
however,
been
able
to
continue
making
a limited contribution to education.
