FUNDS TO FINISH CONSTRUCTION OF SCHOOL
In Maluso, education to the Bajaus is a secondary option to survival. With this, only few are participating in classes, less is enrolled to schools. In rating, 4 among 5 Bajau teenagers are out of school youth because livelihood comes first before anything else. The need to supplement daily food is basically the struggle among Bajau Brethren. Follow through, health needs is totally neglected.
Many among the Bajaus suffer illnesses due to hard work. Body is worn out throughout the day because of too much eagerness to earn something to buy food for the family. Fishing and doing labor at the Port eat up time of the male Bajaus. Laundering, clams gathering, selling, weaving makes up the day for the Bajau women. Because of this, they forgot to take good care of themselves and fell unhealthy and sickly and kids left unattended.
The Bajau children, due to lack of nutritious food intake are malnourished. Younger siblings are left in the hands of older ones who instead of spending time learning in school left at home to look after household chores. Children are seen playing outside; dirty, coughing with runny nose, left out because parents are too busy looking for means to supply them with food. With this, children are prone to illnesses worst death because of negligence.
