It was rewarding to see the progress your students make in language of children crippled, paralyzed, or killed by the disease. and math, to see them grateful and excited. Looking back I can see that the value of that This tone is more harmful than it may seem at frst sight. It trivializes and dehumanizes experience is in the fact that it was not about me, not about volunteers at all; it was always the issues discussed, which leads students and organizations to overestimate their impact about our children. on serious issues and underestimate the necessity for community intervention.

At UCSD I tried despite the abundance of organizations on campus protecting and supporting women to get involved with Alternative Breaks.

Tales of a Philippine Life: Belonging in El Nido By Annika Olives, Lifestyle Editor We bid Puerto Princesa a goodbye on the morning of our third day and headed north, toward the top of the island. After an eventful six hour car ride, in which the air conditioner completely stopped working and our van almost broke down, we arrived—mostly whole—at our second Palawan destination, El Nido. When I travel with my mom, the first thing she always does to situate herself is to walk around the area. As a kid, this was met with reluctant faces and dragging feet — my brother and I were forced away from our video game worlds into real life — but as I grew older, I began to treasure the act of being outside, and the conversations my mom and I would have along the way. It became our little tradition and our way of introducing ourselves to a new place. Our hotel was situated right in the heart of bustling El Nido. We first ventured further into the town, sniffing the sweet scents that floated into the air from bakeries, mouths agape at the towering limestone that enveloped the village. We then turned around and walked toward the ocean. I didn’t bring my camera to the Philippines since I knew we would be close to the water and I didn’t want it to get wet, but this was the moment that made me wish I had brought it. The sun was just beginning to set as we approached the beach, peppered with rocks and corals. The water mirrored the sky and mountains on its still surface. Local children played in the sea, jumping off bancas, and fishermen trekked back from a long day’s hard work. It was a sight to behold, so pure and untouched by the rest of the world. Describing it in words doesn’t do the scene justice — all my mom and I could do was soak it in and attempt to implant the image in our brains. The next day, we set off in a motorboat on an island hopping tour. At our first stop, we climbed into kayaks and rowed through a small opening into a little pool surrounded by stone walls — the El Nido attracts a lot of tourism, especially from Europe. Perhaps my most interesting dining appropriately named “Small Lagoon.” Clear jellyfish camouflaged themselves near the ocean surface experience was Trattoria Altrove, an Italian restaurant near our hotel. Before entering the restaurant, and little fish and crabs stuck close to the sides. We then sailed off to a stretch of coral reef to snorkel — the workers asked us to take off our shoes, and we were led to table close to the floor with pillows to from above the water, you’d never expect the colorful ecosystem that thrives down below. Schools of fish sit on. Since we were relatively far from Europe, I didn’t expect the food to be very good, but I savored rushed by and silver fish, as long as my arm, stayed a distance away, eyeing me as I paddled past, doing my fire oven pizza and carbonara. Afterwards, we bought gelato and sorbet from a vendor on the way my best to not kick the corals. Our last stop was Seven Commandos beach, where we slurped up halo- back to our hotel. Seeing this multicultural mix and the diversity that existed in the town made El Nido halos and I jumped off a tree in a rope-net mechanism that swung me over the beach and the ocean. a really special place to be. We spent our last day lounging on the beach. My little cousin is a natural storyteller, and as we walked along the shoreline, she made up stories for the hermit crabs that we saw scuttling among the rocks. I drew a square in the sand and she dubbed it the “Hermit Crab Town Square,” and we placed rocks and corals to create a little town. She got over her initial fear of touching the crabs, and by the end of the day, she was handling the “mayor,” a huge hermit crab with a white shell almost as big as her hand, telling him to stop escaping. It’s rare nowadays for people my age to stretch imagination like that, so it was incredibly fun to suspend reality and live among the hermit crabs for a little while. In our last few hours, my mom and I wandered the streets, looking for Midtown Bakery, the most famous in the town. Just as we were about to give up, we chanced upon it on a side road and excitedly grabbed pastries for only two pesos each, less than five American cents. We chomped on pan de coco and spanish bread and egg pies as our airplane began to take off, ending our Palawan adventure. Traveling within your own country gives you a feeling different from traveling anywhere else. It’s almost like I had a strange sense of belonging, though I’d never been to Palawan before. I couldn’t help thinking that some part of me came from this island life that I’m so removed from — a girl on those islands and I could not lead more different lives, but, at the end of the day, we’re from the same language, the same culture, the same land that we both call home. Inspired by my recent trip to the Philippines, Tales of a Philippine Life is a weekly column exploring culture, family, mindsets, home, and more.

PUBLIC NOTICE

In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) proposes to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the proposed Fire Station project.

The proposed project would involve construction of an approximately 10,500-gross square foot (GSF) two-story fire station where a tennis court currently exists (one of the eight comprising the campus’ North Campus Recreation Area Tennis Courts). The proposed project would involve the demolition of the existing tennis court, clearing of existing ornamental and landscape vegetation (including several eucalyptus trees, as well roadside shrubs and landscape trees), and grading of slopes, particularly along the eastern and southern margins of the project site. The proposed fire station would accommodate a standard fire station crew of 12 personnel rotating over a 24-hour shift. The first floor of the fire station would include up to four drive-through fire apparatus bays, support spaces, and a public reception area. The second floor would include a kitchen and dining area, day room, and fire crew living quarters. The proposed fire station would also include one elevator and staircase, and infrastructure for security systems (e.g. Blue Light/Intercom, campus phone, alarm system, etc.). Exterior improvements would include an emergency generator, flagpole, mailbox, fire hydrant, trash enclosure, signage, security fencing, fueling facilities, truck wash area, paved hose drying area, and drought tolerant landscaping. The proposed project would include approximately 16 gated parking spaces for firefighter use and three public parking spaces, including at least one Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant space.

Based on the Initial Study (IS) prepared for the project, it has been determined that the project would not have a significant effect on the environment that cannot be mitigated. Therefore, an MND will be issued. Copies of the Draft IS/MND may be viewed at: http://plandesignbuild.ucsd.edu/planning/environmental.html or by contacting the UC San Diego Campus Planning Office, 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, CA 92093-0074, (858) 534-6515. Public review of the Draft IS/MND will extend from November 7, 2017 to December 7, 2017. Any comments regarding the accuracy of the Draft IS/MND should be directed to the UC San Diego Campus Planning Office at the above address.
