Bata Ako Ph donated 100 storybooks last September 21 to the SOS Children’s Village in Poblacion, Zarraga. These books hold a variety of reading content including classics, historical, sports, and poems to help children achieve academic excellence through literacy and general information.
These books were sifted accordingly to the age, grade level, and literacy skills needed by the children.
Village Director Felix Guilaran Jr. appreciated the donation and hoped to form a long-term partnership with the group. Talks on holding a small event and Tree-Planting activity with the Ati group at Brgy. Lanit, Jaro has been ongoing.
