Ways to Participate

There are many ways to help and encourage these children to continue studying and we hope that you will continue to support us in this endeavor:

• Give your used English reading books, dictionaries, or reference books
• Sponsor the shipping cost of a box
• Adopt a classroom and supply them with papers, notebooks, pencils, pens. For a class of 48 students $100.00 will help cover the cost for a whole year. The class you will sponsor will acknowledge your help.
• Used cotton dresses, shirts, pants and short pants; used shoes or slippers (4" to 6"in size); old backpacks or school bags
• Used educational board games: chess, scrabble, word power, games of the general, Risk, etc., that will challenge their minds
Tennis racquets, table tennis, badminton, basketball, volleyball, etc. that will keep them active in a positive way and away from bad influence
• 5 sets of First Aid Kits
• Adopt the class for out-of-school children who dropped out of elementary and cannot go back to the formal ambit of a classroom. Some of these children dropped out of 1st grade and are now 11 years old. Classes are held at Palindan Elementary School, Monday to Friday, 2 hours everyday for grades 1-4. Grades 5-6 every Saturday for 6 hours. The children in the Saturday class will be prepared to pass a placement test that will enable them to go to the next grade level or to high school. $1,000.00 will support this program for 10 months.
