316 Balik Eskwela with Suguian Elementary School

Written by Core Team Member, Rica Leyritana

We at U! Happy Events believe that education should be every child’s right. This is why we frequently engage in activities that supports it. Last May 17, 2014, we literally went beyond our usual area by sponsoring a “Back-to-School Project” for Sugian Elementary School, a remote area in Donsol, Sorsogon.

The main purpose of the event was to donate school supplies to the kids of the school who are mostly sons and daughters of farmers and fisherman who earn less than Php 100 per day. These kids also survive a school day on a a very small allowance. Them receiving these gifts was a significant move.

The journey was lengthy and tiresome for the team. The whole trip included 1- hour plane, 1 hour land, a 30 minute river commute and a 10 minute trek under the intense sun. These were quickly replaced though with happiness as they were welcomed by curious and smiling faces of the kids.

After conducting some games for the children, we gave out school supplies, slippers and some food to the students. It was a relatively short encounter but well worth it. The kids can’t just stop showing their heart felt appreciations.

U! Happy Events would like to thank a number of sponsors who made this possible. Your support sustains our mission to provide better opportunities to children.
