Hundreds of students from the Dar Amanah Children's Village
Foundation, Inc. (DACVFI) in Silang, Cavite
The initiative, which is being handled by the PA
Civil-Military Operations Group, is now on its fifth year of implementation
since being started by then Col. Thomas R. Sedano in 2011.
Project Shoebox is a humanitarian endeavor of the Philippine
Army.
To date, about 300,000 shoeboxes have been distributed to
poor students from public elementary schools located in conflict-affected areas
and those areas affected by typhoons or calamities.
Contained in each shoebox are school supplies like
notebooks, crayons, pencil, eraser, pad, paper and other school items.
Likewise, it also contains personal care item like
toothpaste, toothbrush, bath soap, face towel, shampoo and others.
DACVFI caters to the needs of poor Muslim orphaned and
disadvantaged children’s and equip them there with skills, knowledge and
self-assertiveness required for them to live independently worthy of becoming a
good contributor to the Filipino society.
