Project Rationale
With poverty increasing, proper
education is on the decline. Although we believe that developing our children’s
love for reading can help a lot to improve their education, the lack of money
to buy educational books for their children is a major issue among parents.
It is necessary then that they
have available reading materials other than their text books. We believe
developing their own libraries which many of the schools in the barrios don’t
have can greatly help in the education of these children.
We also believe that additional
reading materials and references for teachers that can make them aware of current
events can make them better teachers to their students.
Computers and educational
softwares and encyclopedias are also important as research tool for the
students and teachers to improve their skills. Outdated computers can still be
useful to these schools provided they can still run basic educational
softwares.
Educational materials and toys
for pre-school children than can greatly help improve their creativity early can
make them easier to teach as they grow.
Used book shelves can also be
used in schools where there's no existing libraries.
Donors
Everyone can be a donor, any book
can be a source of inspiration although we need age appropriate books useful to
pre-school to high school students and also publications useful to teachers.
Companies who can donate outdated
computers and equipments that can be used as teaching tools such as audio
visual equipments.
Recipients
Legible recipients are public or
private Elementary and High Schools in far flung Barangays who have no regular
access to good reads.
Barangay Nursery and Kindergarten
schools.
