From the Mindanao Times (Jun 25): Army to open mini-library in Brgy. 76-A next month

The Task Force Davao intends to open a mini-library in July as it continues to rebuild the Barangay Astig Learning Center in Bucana, Brgy. 76-A. 2Lt. Chrystin Joan B. Pamplona, TF Davao Civil-Military Operations officer, in a statement said they are targeting to formally welcome the kids in the barangay next month after rehabilitating the school for the past two weekends to create a more conducive learning space for the children.

“Supposedly, it was set to open this month. However, it was moved to July because of the availability of the materials to rehabilitate the school,” she added.

According to the CMO officer, their personnel have been tasked to repair the learning center and at the same time design the school walls and cabinets through mural paintings. They will also be putting additional chairs if needed.

Pamplona said internship students from the San Pedro College have rendered their services by providing psychosocial processing to the oprhaned kids whose parents are in jail.

She added that they will also be giving be schools supplies for the teachers: lesson plans, folders, and organizers. Meanwhile, students will also be given with notebooks, pens, books, slippers and school supplies. Marco Polo Hotel has donated two large carpets for the learning center.

Pamplona said earlier that the objective for the said plan is to build a strong foundation for the kids in the area. In this manner, the youth will be encouraged to open a book and read, further driving them away to a negative direction.
