There are two preschools on dumpsites, one in Cebu City, the other pictured here is on Mactan Island. The Lapu Lapu Dump Site School is in its 1st year of operation funded and operated by an international organization, International Gospel Centre (IGC Foundation at igcfoundation.org), who also funds and operates the Cebu City dumpsite school which started three years ago. The school is inside of shipping containers.This school helps to prepare preschoolers who are living in extreme poverty for school. The children can bathe at the school, eat meals there and there is a health clinic there also. My friend Linda and I visited the school. In December, Linda and her husband Tony donated money for a Christmas party at the school. The children got to eat ice cream for the first time. They were surprised by the sweetness and coldness of the ice cream and asked if they could eat the cones too. See pictures of the school below.
