School Supplies for St. Mary Magdalene School in Kawit, Cavite,Philippines (2022-2023)
The demand for school supplies in the Philippines has significantly increased. Statistics show that more students are not receiving a proper education due to the lack off school supplies. Many students use a pencil until the very end where there is barely any lead. According to the Department of Education and the National Statistical Coordination Board in the Philippines, 1 in 6 Filipino kids will not attend school due to poverty. Further, only 7 out of 10 kids will complete elementary school using the bare minimum of school supplies. Of those 7 kids, only 4 will complete high school, and of those 4, 1 will proceed onto university. A Message from the principal: “St. Mary Magdalene School is a Catholic private school situated in Kawit, Cavite. Though we are considered private school under a corporation which is the Diocese of Imus Catholic Education, we remain committed in helping the poor and needy students. Thus, the school offers scholarship to students who have no capability of paying tuition fees. Our school believes that help should be extended to those who need it the most, especially our scholars. However, due to the ongoing pandemic, our school lacked the resources to continue supporting our scholars. We decreased our help to the needy students for our institution to survive. It is with great sadness that we do this in order to survive, hoping that we may continue helping our community when the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic are over. Therefore, we felt hopeful upon receiving the letter that the Hearts of Learning, Inc. is willing to help us continue our service to the needy students. With the help of Hearts of Learning, Inc., our school may continue to be the beacon of hope for our scholars who are struggling to learn during this pandemic. We will be able to push through with our operations, even if classes will be face-to-face, which is considered costly due to the needed requirements to observe standard health protocols. With their assistance, the school can once again, be of service to the poor and needy students.” Committed to Christian excellence in education, we remain. Jerico O.
