INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEERS VISIT OBO & CANCABALONG FOR ‘BALIK ESKWELA 2023’

A group of seven volunteers from Singapore visted our schools on June 4 and 5 to meet the community and distribute needed school supplies. The Fundraising exceeded all our expectations and the final tally was SGD $10,200 (approx. PHP 415,000). We are eternally grateful to all the financial sponsors in Singapore for their kindness and generosity in making this event possible. The students, parents, and teachers are overwhelmed with what we have been able to provide this year and it inspires them to work harder.

The items provided consisted of:

  • Student Packs
  • School Uniforms
  • Raincoats
  • Hygiene Kits
  • Toothbrushes & Toothpaste
  • Multivitamins
  • Teacher Resource Packs
  • Kindergarten furniture (Cancabalong ES)
  • 1 x Sharpe 42″ TV’s (Cancabalong ES)
  • 4 x Sharpe 42″ TV’s (Obo ES)
  • Budget to upgrade Kindergarten floor (Obo ES)

We are very fortunate to have raised enough funds to also cover both special projects we had hoped for. New TV’s were purchased for Kindergarten at Cancabalong ES, and for Grades III to VI at Obo ES. We were also able to provide child friendly plastic furniture for Kindergarten at Cancabalong ES to significanlty upgrade facilities. Now all we need is a bigger classroom!
