The BagEskwela Outreach Project held last Feb 23 at the Shrine of the Divine Mercy, Marilao was a big success. It was attended by Mr. Wilfredo Claudio and Cecil Dajoyag, UNICEF’s Supply Officer and Educational Program Asst., respectively, PBB1 HM Franzen Fajardo, Ta J’s colleague Ms Cathy dela Cruz, Kris dela Cruz and Mrs. Claudio.

The beneficiaries were 100 selected elementary students from Bgy. Sta Rosa I and Sta. Rosa II of Marilao, Bulacan. They each received a UNICEF backpack containing notebooks, pens, pencils, crayons, t-shirt, shorts, slippers and a drinking water container.

We would like to thank Ate Rosie Francisco of the Society of St Vincent de Paul and Connie Garcia for bringing to our attention the children’s needs, and for coordinating our visit.

We would also like to thank Parish Priest Fr Mar DJ Arenas, SSVP and Fr. Reynaldo San Juan Jr. for joining us and helping out in the distribution.

And last but not least, we thank our donors: Ms. Lin Domingo, Franzen and most especially Mr. Claudio, Cecil, and Ms. Ma Lourdes de Vera-Mateo, Education Section Chief of UNICEF.
