Labor of Love: School supplies donation brings cheer to an elementary school in Iloilo

July 18, 2018 - PRLog -- An integral part to a child's success in school is to make sure they have proper classroom supplies. That is why a group of volunteers have stepped up to help out over a hundred of students from Paloc So-ol Elementary School in Dumanagas, Iloilo.

Spearheaded by "Coach RM Piece of Work", a personal advocacy initiative by Mr. RM Lobaton, volunteers give out bags, notebooks, pens, and pencils to approximately 120 less fortunate students. "This project won't be possible without all the BENEFACTORS/ SPONSORS who silently support by giving cash and materials," Lobaton said in his Facebook status.

The program, with the theme "Kids, the little sunshine!", is in collaboration with the 52nd Philippine Air Force Group Reserve. Major Natividad of PAFR also chose two outstanding students who deserve a scholarship at St. Anne College in Iloilo.

The said program was all about the essence of giving, loving and turning back to the base. Lobaton expressed his gratitude in his post. He said, "Please also touch the heart of those who will be part of this project in the near future. For the recepients, please guide them to use the blessings accordingly and i hope it will be a reason to inspire them in achieving their goals of success in life."

He also wishes that this activity will serve as a reminder for sharing and giving the little blessings that we have to one another.

Lobaton initiated this project because he believes that encouraging the youth to do their best will help them attain success. He said, "I hope that these kids will always believe in themselves, that they can do everything through Christ who strengthens them."

He also challenges the youth to do their part. "For the beneficiaries, please do your part, not just to expect blessings, but cooperating in earning the  blessings and initiative to share the blessings that you have even how little it is."
