Call for Donations of School Supplies
According to Department of Education’s National Report (as of October 5, 2009), damage to the country’s public schools by tropical storm “Ondoy” (international name Ketsana) has reached P550,938,902.60. Such amount includes damage to textbooks, instructional materials, computers, equipments and other school properties and facilities.
“Students and schools affected by Ondoy may not have the materials and resources to begin again.” Tulong Kabataan, a youth network of volunteers, said. They are calling for urgent donations of school supplies such as notebooks, pencils and ballpens, school bags, old uniforms, and even chalk, paper and blackboard erasers for students and schools devastated by heavy rains and floods. Textbooks, educational materials and other school paraphernalia are also most welcome. Donations may be brought to the Tulong Kabataan Command Center and/or other drop off points (http://kabataanpartylist.com/blog/ondoy/#list).
