Each of the Agta villages we visited was starkly different from the others, and each study had a different feel and level of excitement (though Steve taught the exact same lessons to each). This village had a handful of attendees, but each seemed very interested and the children were extremely interested in ours, not very shy.
Ipil was the largest and probably the wealthiest village (though still completely destitute by our standards and even those of the average Bicoloni). They were extremely eager to participate and to learn farming practices as well. They had by far the greatest turnout, and they were willing to read and answer questions with some prompting.
This village consisted of only a handful of family members. They were extremely shy and didn't even seem to be paying much attention. It turned out that they had not eaten in several days, so when we left we got them some rice to get them by. Severe storms and minimal agricultural knowledge can really take its toll on these communities. Though this one was only about 1/4 mile off the main thoroughfare, it was completely isolated and removed from society.
Even those who didn't attend the studies were quick to welcome us.
