Detailed description
To usher the incoming Rotary Year 2019-2020, the Rotary Cub of Metro Escolta started with a new project by responding to the call of one teacher of Abra de Ilog National High School, Mamburao, Occidental Mindoro. The concerned teacher is soliciting school materials for her students, who are mostly "Mangyans", an indigenous or native people of Mindoro island. According to her facebook post, Mangyan students were absent during the first weeks of 2019 school year due to lack or no school materials to use.
In response, RC of Metro Escolta has donated 28 school bags, 300 notebooks, 150 pad papers and 3 reams of bond papers. Recipients are 150 Grade 7 Mangyan students of Abra de Ilog National High School. Activity started last June 27, 2019, 4 days ahead of the new Rotary Year since school items were already needed by the indigent students. Other educational materials will be distributed soon.
