Students of Diasan Elementary School in Echague, Isabela received new pairs of shoes from SM Store and SM Share Movement.

Shoes are essential in one’s journey through life, especially for students. With a pair of good shoes, they will not only be able to fulfill their daily tasks with ease, but it can also inspire them to work hard and take little steps to achieve their dream.

For most students in the city, a school bus or a stroll down the sidewalk are their usual commute. But for students in the province, it is a different story.
Samantha, a student from the Diasan Elementary School, shared the hardships she and her classmates face to reach school.

“Malayo po ang nilalakad namin ng nakapaa. Madulas po ‘pag umuulan at mahirap, maputik ang daan. ‘Yung mga iba po na nakatira sa may bundok, naglalakad po sila ng malayo. (My classmates and I have to walk a long way to get to our school. When the rainy season comes, the slopes become slippery and dangerous which makes it harder for us. The others who live near the mountain walk even farther),” Samantha said.

Diasan Elementary School is tucked in the middle of the Barangay Diasan, a remote farming community in Isabela with over 600 residents. Students like Samantha have to walk an hour or more on rough terrain to get to and from school and are sometimes forced to skip classes if the river is swollen due to heavy rains.
Despite the challenges, one would be surprised at the great lengths they are willing to go to for their education. The simple gift of a new pair of shoes will allow them to walk to and back to school in comfort and safety.

These are the kinds of stories that inspired the SM Store’s Share Shoes program to reach to the community to continue its mission of bringing joy – through the gift of shoes that can help make the journey of the students easier and more comfortable.

Sharing the gift of new shoes
Most students in Diasan have not set foot in a mall before, let alone a shop selling shoes, so as a treat for the kids, employee volunteers from The SM Store, Savemore and SM Foundation transformed one of the classrooms into a shoe store. They assisted the kids in choosing and fitting their very own shoes from the display of clogs, sneakers, sandals, flats and slip-ons donated by The SM Store MLC Shoes and Bags, and SM’s retail affiliates Crocs and Simply Shoes.
The employee and community volunteers also set up a “Feet Washing Corner” before the shoe fitting to impart the importance of taking care of one’s feet. The kids could not hide their joy as they selected and tried on their new footwear.

Majority of the children today are tech-savvy and most of the time, glued to the glowing mobile and tablet screens. However, this does not mean that we cannot let them experience the joys of riding a bike, playing tag, and lots of other activities that kids used to love doing outdoors, especially during the summer break.

While it is important to let your kids have fun under the sun, certain precautions must still be set to ensure that they are safe from harm and discomfort. Licealiz Head Lice Treatment Shampoo, together with several moms from various walks of life shared tips on how to arm their kids for a fun and safe day outdoors!

Protecting them from environmental risks

• The outdoors can also cause harm to your kid if you do not take safety measures to avoid possible natural risks. “Of course, I worry that they could get diseases especially with the recent measlesoutbreak, but thankfully my kids are vaccinated, and that takes away a lot of stress and worry for us,”says mommy of three and children’s book author Teresa Dumadag.

• If your kids will run around in the afternoon, be sure to put sunblock to protect them from harmful UV
  rays and bring mosquito repellent to keep dengue-carrying mosquitoes away. Mommy Laila, co-founder
  of lifestyle brand Elements of Tomorrow and mom of one, also says that it is important to dress
  according to the weather: “We let our child, Sid Nayon, play freely in nature whether it’s sunny or rainy.
  So of course we dress him accordingly so he is well-protected.”

Being prepared for emergencies.

• For Mommy Teresa, prevention is better than cure. Whenever she and her husband take their three boys to the park, she always makes sure they are ready for whatever accidents and emergencies that may occur. “Just recently, my eldest son fell while running and wounded his knee. Thankfully, we had wet wipes to clean the wound and found a restroom he could wash it in,” she shared.

• Meanwhile, Mommy Kaye, a part-time working mom with a three-year-old, says that she already has a bag of essentials prepared for whenever she goes out with her son, Riley: “The contents of the backpack include a small towel, wipes, alcohol, mosquito repellent patches, a bottle of water and an extra shirt.” Being prepared for emergencies can also give you that peace of mind and will let you enjoy alongside your kid.

Teaching your kids proper hygiene

• While putting several safety measures for your kids is important, nothing is more effective than teaching your kids to take care of themselves. Mommy Heart Calimlim, virtual assistant and freelance writer, says that she makes sure to explain to her kids the importance of proper hygiene: “It’s for their own sake. Kung hindi ko sila tuturuan na alagaan sarili nila, baka ikapahamak pa nila at lalo silang magkasakit (It’s for their own sake. If I don’t teach them to take care of themselves, it will cause more harm and they’re more likely to catch diseases).”

• Washing hands right after playing is also an effective way to avoid germs. According to Mommy Kaye, “There’s always a feeling of paranoia, if I may call it, because playing outside brings a lot of germs, especially now that he’s in a phase where he keeps on biting his nails.” This is why right after playing, one of the first things Mommy Kaye does is to make Riley wash his hands to avoid illnesses caused by these germs.

Keeping it consistent at home

• To support her son’s active and adventurous personality, Mommy Laila believes that protecting him is a daily and consistent thing: “We see to it that our kid is healthy in terms of their food. We only feed him plant-based and organic food so that when he plays outside, he’s not prone to sickness and he has strength.” Promoting a healthy diet as well as regular vitamin intake can build up your child’s strength so that he is ready to face everything when he plays outdoors.

• Your kid should not be the only one being protected, but also the whole family. Mommy Teresa shared,
  “There was a time when we had a maid who had lice. She was the one taking care of my son so he also
  got head lice and so we had to buy head lice shampoo for the both of them.” Shampoo specifically made
  for head lice infestation is the best treatment you can give to your child.

In case of head lice infestation, use Licealiz Head Lice Treatment Shampoo twice a week for two weeks, and once a week for prevention
of head lice recurrence. That way, your child is safe from head lice infestation, especially when they
interact with other kids.

At the end of the day, it is always our child’s happiness that we care about. Mommy Heart shared, “Ever since we started letting our kids play outside, I always see them happy and they really look forward to play time.”

Taking the time to spend a whole day of playing outdoors with your kids is also a great opportunity to bond and of course, there is no better way for parents to show their love for their kids than to spend quality time with them.

Our family try our best to live a healthy life. One of the best ways we do this is by using essential oils in our day-to-day living. Being a member of Young Living, it has been a great journey so far.

We welcomed the opening of Young Living Philippines on 2019 with open hands and with great joy.

Being at the forefront of producing high-grade and pure essential oils, Young Living will always be a part of our daily rituals to be healthier.

What is Young Living Essential Oils all about?

World Leader in the Industry
Young Living’s humble beginnings started when its founder, D. Gary Young, first planted a few lavender seeds in a small patch of land in Washington. Fueled by his passion to develop natural wellness products, he developed a simple, homemade essential oil distillery to process his lavender harvests. The result is the first pure batch of Young Living essential oil and as they say, the rest is history. Twenty-five years on, Young Living now consistently upholds its mission of being a steward to nature’s living energy – distilling nature’s greatest gifts into high-quality essential oils for the benefit of the world, making it the world leader in the industry.

Seed to Seal

But this great feat wouldn’t have been possible without the rigorous standards and sourcing discipline that Young Living has lived by for 25 years. It sets the industry standards for quality and purity with its proprietary Seed to Seal commitment, which consists of 3 pillars – Sourcing, Science and Standards.

Sourcing
o Sourcing the highest quality materials only from corporate-owned farms, partner farms and Seed to Seal-certified suppliers to empower the company to be a steward of the earth by sourcing conscientiously with sensitivity to community impact.

Science

o With 180 years of combined research and R&D experience, Young Living’s laboratory team tests samples internally as well as through 3 rd party accredited laboratories. This is all to ensure that the company only creates pure and effective products that contain the cleanest and most innovative ingredients available.

Standards
