Litratong Pinoy#84 Iyo (Yours)

Think of this house we are constructing as yours so that we can give happiness and hope for those who will reside in this house, that's what the guy from Gawad Kalinga said.

We were about to start constructing houses as part of the Gawad Kalinga project. We need to do it well, make the houses beautiful and sturdy even with the limited resources we had to construct them. The outcome was good especially those houses that the lady-volunteers painted together. But, there was one house that the supervisor ended up scratching his head because of their eagerness to make the house strong, they thickened the cement plaster on the walls. They had to fix it before they were able to finish it.

Pilipino:
Ituring mong iyo itong ginagawang bahay para naman mabigyan mo ng kasiyahan at pag-asa ang titira dito, sabi ng lalaking taga-Gawad Kalinga.

Mag-uumpisa na kami sa paggawa ng mga bahay na kasama sa proyekto ng Gawad Kalinga. Kailangang paghusayan namin, pagandahan at patibayin kahit na ba limitado ang kagamitan para itayo ang mga ito. Maganda naman ang kinalabasan lalo na doon sa pinagtulungan naming mga babaeng pagpinturahan na mga bahay. Pero, iyong isang ginagawa ay kumamot ng ulo ang kapatas dahil sa kagustuhang patibayin ang bahay ay kinapalan ang paglalagay ng semento sa mga pader kaya ayun, inayos pa nila bago natapos.
