From September 4 to 6, 2024 – Good Neighbors Philippines through Prieto Diaz Community Development Project (CDP) in Sorsogon successfully held its School Supplies Distribution. Through this initiative we were able to provide supplementary educational materials for 919 sponsored children across the 23 barangays in the municipality.
This year’s distribution included string bags, comfortable t-shirts to serve as school uniforms, and automatic umbrellas—each chosen to meet the needs of the children. The string bags are dedicated to help students carry their materials with ease, the t-shirts aim to foster a sense of belonging within their schools, and the umbrellas offer essential protection against various weather conditions as they travel to and from school.
This annual activity reflects our commitment to empowering children and youth by ensuring they have access to the tools they need for a more fruitful learning experience. We strongly believe that education is not just a right; it is the key to unlocking a brighter future, and we are here to make that possible.
Through education, we can create a future where every child is equipped to succeed and make good change happen in their families and communities.
