CATARMAN,Northern Samar —The District Engineers League of the Philippines (DELP), in partnership with Batch 1984 of Northern Samar Academy, organized the ‘Bigay Eswela’ initiative—a school supply and meal distribution event—at Tinowaran Elementary School in Barangay Tinowaran, Catarman, Northern Samar on August 25, 2024.
A total of 132 students from kindergarten to grade 6 were delighted to receive essential school supplies, such as activity books, pencils, colored papers, crayons, scissors, papers, ballpens, and rulers. These items are expected to help enhance their learning experience and provide them with the necessary tools to succeed in their studies.
Aside from school supplies, each student was treated to a Jollibee meal pack, infusing the atmosphere with joy and enthusiasm. The meal packs not only delighted the children but also complemented their excitement about the new educational resources they received, making the occasion even more memorable.
District Engineer Alvin A. Ignacio, who spearheaded the distribution, highlighted the initiative’s dual purpose.
“Our goal is not only to provide these students with the necessary tools for their education but also to give back to our community and inspire these young minds,” DE Ignacio said.
A representative from Batch 1984 expressed their commitment to supporting local education. “As alumni, we understand the value of education and want to contribute to the success of these students,” they noted.
The initiative received a warm reception from the students, parents, and teachers of Tinowaran Elementary School.
School head Sally Pinca Alcayde expressed heartfelt gratitude to DELP and Batch 1984.
“Your generosity not only equips our students with essential materials but also inspires them to reach their full potential,” Alcayde remarked.
This distribution is part of a broader effort by DELP and Batch 1984 to support local education and foster a spirit of community engagement.(PR)
