Last September, the Child Development and Education Circle (CDEC) pulled resources together with the entire student body of Miriam College Lower and Middle School in a book donation drive campaign dubbed as “Build a Library, Donate a Book Campaign.”
This was part of the many activities done by the College of Education for the College Week which had for its theme: ‘Fortifying Lifelong Learning Skills: Learning To Know, To Do, To Live Together and To Be’. An estimated number of 40 boxes of used books were delivered on Sept. 6 by Mia Teoxon, MCGS LMC Supervisor and Therese Pelias, CDE Department Chairperson, to Tanauan South Central School in coordination with Anthony Mariano and Zarah Gagatiga of Sambat Trust, an NGO focused on building libraries in the countryside.
To date the books form a big portion of the book collection of their library. The kids of Tanauan, Batangas are truly grateful.
