00:01.463 --> 00:02.296
- [Andrew Lee Jackson] As the Hawaii

00:02.296 --> 00:04.000
National Guard's incident
awareness and assessment

00:04.000 --> 00:06.040
subject matter exchange drew to a close,

00:06.040 --> 00:07.740
the Nation Guard Soldiers and Airmen took

00:07.740 --> 00:09.690
the opportunity to bring some aloha

00:09.690 --> 00:12.300
to an orphanage in Manila
that has been adopted

00:12.300 --> 00:15.378
by Hawaii National Guard's
state partnership program.

00:15.378 --> 00:18.910
- So we came to visit the
Bahay Maria Orphanage today

00:18.910 --> 00:20.460
to bring gifts and just,

00:20.460 --> 00:22.090
and they also ask for donation

00:22.090 --> 00:23.820
to help with their utilities.

00:23.820 --> 00:26.070
But part of the visit is to help build

00:26.070 --> 00:28.250
a relationship with them,
because our leadership

00:28.250 --> 00:30.730
wants to build a continuous relationship

00:30.730 --> 00:33.610
so whenever we come to the Philippines

00:33.610 --> 00:37.060
we can visit them and see
how we can support them.

00:37.060 --> 00:38.910
This is actually pretty awesome, I work

00:38.910 --> 00:40.660
with the foster kids back in Hawaii

00:40.660 --> 00:43.600
so this is about the same thing that we do

00:43.600 --> 00:46.270
is make sure we investing
in the children 'cus

00:46.270 --> 00:49.200
they're our future, so anything we can do

00:49.200 --> 00:51.290
to make sure they are successful in life

00:51.290 --> 00:54.113
and be good for the
community in the future.

00:55.064 --> 00:55.897
- [Andrew Lee Jackson]
The Soldiers and Airmen

00:55.897 --> 00:56.730
had gathered various

00:56.730 --> 00:58.720
school supplies and other
donations from their

00:58.720 --> 01:01.460
home units, and delivered
them to the orphanage.

01:01.460 --> 01:03.250
Reporting from Manila,
Philippines, this is

01:03.250 --> 01:04.810
