2,800 students receive brand new school supplies

Classes have officially started but way before students enter their classrooms weeks ago, Hedcor made sure that students were school-ready.

Through the assistance of volunteer employees, Hedcor’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) team conducted its annual school supplies donations and Brigada Eskwela activities across various schools in Mindanao.

Complete with notebooks, pencils, crayons and other school supplies, over 2,800 students are now equipped with brand new materials for the school year through Hedcor’s school supplies distribution. These school supplies kits also aim to double as a source of motivation for the students to attend their classes and study harder.

These students hail from 10 recipient schools from the municipality of Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon namely: Santiago Elem. School, Guilang-guilang Elem. School, Ilignan Elem. School, Impakibel Elem. School, Guihean Elem. School, Sabangan Elem. School, Abyawan Elem. School, Consolacion Elem. School, Kihan-ay Elem. School, Lingion Elementary School. The donation came in timely as these schools are far-flung and have little access to quality materials for education.

Aside from school supplies, school facilities also received an upgrade through Brigada Eskwela activities. Bukidnon-based Santiago Elementary School received assistance in concreting a 15-meter pathwalk, providing comfort and convenience to the students and teachers. Three more schools in Davao and Davao del Sur also received assistance in facility repair and landscaping activities for its school grounds.

These education-centered projects, totalling to about P1 million, aim to provide a safer, better, and learning-conducive school facility to the host communities of Hedcor. These activities also brought together over a hundred Hedcor employee volunteers. (pr)
