8th FAB, HERO Foundation outreach program benefit 60 school children in Basilan

From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 15): 8th FAB, HERO Foundation outreach program benefit 60 school children in Basilan
 
Lt. Col. Jeffrey Cabansay, 8th Field Artillery Battalion (FAB) commander, has encouraged school children to study hard to fulfill their dreams and goals in life.

Cabansay issued the statement during an outreach program Monday in partnership with the Helping Everyone Randomly Organization (HERO) Foundation at the Look Jambangan Primary School in Barangay Baluno, Isabela City, the capital of Basilan province.

Cabansay told the school children that he became the battalion commander of the 8th FAB because he studied hard during his days in elementary and high school.

A total of 60 school children benefited from the joint outreach program of the 8th FAB and HERO Foundation wherein they distributed food and snacks purchased from food chain Jollibee as well as school supplies.

A Jollibee mascot entertained the school children during the event.

“If the people can’t go to the city because of poverty and don’t have the opportunity to dine in a restaurant or fast-food outlet like Jollibee, then the HERO and 8th FAB will bring it to them so they can have fun and laughter,” Cabansay said

The HERO Foundation headed by Rijan Peñaflor was organized to help the needy and the less fortunate ones.

The Look Jambangan Primary School was the second school that benefited from the joint HERO and 8th FAB outreach program.

The first was the Simeon Josefa Elementary School in Barangay Binuangan, Isabela City, Basilan wherein 200 students benefited during the outreach mission held last August 10.

Peñaflor and Cabansay said more outreach programs will be held in the coming days for the benefit of the school children.
