READING NOOK DONATION
AND LAUNCHING
Promote a Positive Learning Community at Bayanga
A reading nook was installed within the Bayanga Elementary School of the club’s adopted Barangay Bayanga in Cagayan de Oro City, allowing the students to learn, discover and enjoy the joys of reading.
This project aims to provide an adequate space for the students to sit down, pick a book and read. It fosters reading with positive emotions.
The club used a non-working refrigerator as a shelf to keep the books protected from all-weather conditions, thereby providing a round-the-clock reading time!
Book Donation Drive
This project aims to provide books to the school of our adopted Barangay where reading materials are lacking so they can have the opportunity to read frequently and instill the language and vocabulary skills that will lead the children to become proficient in reading.
Back-to-School Gift Giving 2022
Studies show that children having their own school supplies can improve grades, creativity and attitude towards learning. It also enhances their behavior and creates a positive and social peer relationship.
Education is the first step to overcoming poverty.
A single pack of pencils and paper could be the gateway to a bright promising year to a student.
The Soroptimist International Cagayan de Oro donated school supplies as well as digital thermometers and alcohol dispensers, alcohol and hand soap to Bayanga Elementary School.
