On December 13, we headed to Botolan, Zambales with LBC to bring Christmas cheers and treats to 500 Aeta children.
We had a ribbon-cutting ceremony for our PEARLS classroom we helped build for them. Thank you so much Melissa Santos Poquiz and family for sponsoring this classroom. Very much appreciated by all students and teachers here.
Also, we are proud and excited to announce that together with our amazing partner, @litworld , we are launching Litclub at Botolan, Zambales.
The teachers, future #litclub members and the entire Aeta tribe are very grateful and excited too.
“LitClubs and LitCamps provide young people with engaging and productive literacy experiences during critical out-of-school time.
LitWorld’s revolutionary LitClubs and LitCamps cultivate social-emotional development by building resilience and literacy skills together. Guided by LitWorld’s “7 Strengths” – Belonging, Curiosity, Kindness, Friendship, Confidence, Courage, and Hope – trained mentors create safe and supportive communities where children learn to value their own and others’ stories, become powerful readers, and use literature as a guide as they learn to navigate their lives and tell their own stories.” – litworld.org
