Five Star Bus Company Lakbay Aklatan

Kudos to Five Star Bus Company for this timely CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) to increase reading opportunities to our children. Maybe they could convert all their old bus unit into mobile library and donate them to far flung barangay or elementary school in the country to serve as Barangay/School Reading Center.

LAKBAY AKLATAN LAUNCHES AT LAOANG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!

Yesterday, September 9, 2019, we launched our mobile library called Lakbay Aklatan in Laoang, Tarlac. After a quick discussion with representatives from Lakbay Aklatan’s beneficiary schools for the next few months, our mobile library opened its doors to students - with a reading aloud and open reading session.

Lakbay Aklatan aims to improve reading proficiency among kids because we believe that it serves as the foundation to better and quicker learning once the child moves to upper grade levels.

Police Mobile Library Launch

In the Philippine Star fb page news today, Police Officers from  Manila Police District launch the "Ang Guro kong Pulis" a mobile library campaign.

We fervently hope this this operation will be sustain and replicated in other police district in the country and not a merely photo ops to refurbished the image of our policy forces. 

At any rate, any reading and literacy campaign geared especially among the street children is a commendable program and deserve the support of the people.
