At Duluan Integrated School

It was a pleasure to give school supplies once again to the students of Duluan Elementary School. They are always so warm and welcoming that the long trip to their school is well worth it. Many thanks to the Gary Steele Family Foundation for making this happen. (This school supplies distribution took place on March 13, 2024.)

We also gave new shoes to some of the children who didn't have shoes to wear to school. We are grateful to the Smiley and Kai Shoes Project for their generosity.

Thanks to the concerted efforts of UNIFFIED teachers of New York and Nieva Burdick we were able to give children's books to the school's library. 

Duluan has designated a small area in the Teachers Room to store their library materials. Hopefully they'll have the resources to build a library for their students in the near future.

These are the notes and cards the children gave me. It's heartwarming. Thank you so much.

Antonio Belo Elementary School

 

Last year we gave school supplies to the fourth, fifth and six graders at Antonio Belo Integrated School. This year we came back to give the younger kids some school supplies. Antonio Belo is in Timpas, Panitan and has a large number of students. This is why we had to divide the numbers so we could also give to other schools in Capiz. The kids were all happy to receive their school supplies.

Many thanks to our generous sponsor, Gary Steele and the Steele Family Charitable Trust. Your continued support has allowed us to reach out to more schoolchildren in Capiz.
