6. Purpose of the Project:

We provided underprivileged children a free educational head start by giving them the basic school necessities. Readily available school supplies let students and teachers focus on what's really important: Learning. This is also a big help for their parents because they will no longer think on where to get money in buying supplies for their children but instead focus on other family needs. Members Contribution and Donations help out a total of 350 students and our simple kits were filed with notebooks, papers, pencils, pencil case, ballpens, erasers, sharpeners and bag - + headbands and ponytails – for girls.

For us, these help Mangyan Students to be more motivated and interested in learning and/or going to school as they became excited and eager to use complete set of supplies. These also build confidence and self-esteem because there is no reason for them to compare themselves from the students in urban areas.

Hearing them saying Thank you while wearing a big smile are very heart melted words from innocent kids like them. Because that was the first time that they received a complete set of school supplies.

If we want to create CHANGE: we will start this thru EDUCATION. Use our PURPOSE and PASSION.
