TITSER ANNIE (Documentary of Kara David)

The documentary video of Kara David really captured my heart. I still

remember when I was first assigned in a far-flung area here in Gumaca, Quezon. At
first, I was even hesitant to accept the assignment because I will have to walk for 6
kilometers after a habal-habal (motorcycle) ride but I needed a job so I accepted the
item. The hike is particularly difficult when it is rainy. However, it is also a unique
experience and can be immensely rewarding, offering you a lifestyle you may never
get to experience working in a larger city. You will have the opportunity to learn
more about who you are as a teacher and an individual.

Teacher Annie’s devotion to the community is inspirational. Her legacy when

she eventually leaves will be to have created a solid educational foundation for the
people there. Those who have learned to read and write will teach the next
generation. Because of her selfless devotion, Teacher Annie will be changed forever,
as will the community she finally waves goodbye to.

Her story is written to remind and inspire people to never give up in helping
those in need and to continue to touch hearts, nurture minds, and transform the lives
of the young learners. Despite different situations that we have, it is always essential
that we value each other’s contribution for the sake of educating our children for the
purpose of nation building.
