The Book Box Project

The BOOK BOX Project is a literacy advocacy of St. Agnes’ Academy GS 1994 HS 1998 Alumni Association which I spearheaded for the particular benefit of the province of Albay as well as nationwide.. It aims to:

1. Continuously deliveries encyclopedias, textbooks, coloring books, workbooks, storybooks, dictionaries, school supplies and instructional materials to day care centers, elementary and high school public schools.
2. Assist in the establishment of libraries in day care centers, elementary and high school public schools.
3. Involve students from institutes, colleges and universities in the outreach activities.
4. Cooperate with various partners and networks.
5. Raise literacy of Filipinos.
6. Promote environmental awareness by  recycling of books.
7. Raise funds

December 2010 ~ After posting our Holiday Homecoming Party photos in Facebook,  our former first year  Science teacher and adviser wrote a comment in one of our photos which can be found here:

January 26, 2011 ~ I discovered Rock Ed Philippines through Pepe Diokno’s tweet which was retweeted by one twitter account. We also found out that the new site of Rock Ed Phlippines just went live on that week. It was our first time to learn about the organization. We immediately signed up,  initiated The Book Box Project and sought for support through the volunteer page of rocked.ph.

After  a few months, we received overwhelming responses from volunteers who donated educational supplies and books.

February 2011 ~ Rock Ed Volunteers Raina Reyes and friends gave books to MJ Ruivivar at Chungdham Philippines.

March 2011 ~ US-based classmate/batchmate Ernesto Ebio box full of crayons and coloring books.

April 2011 ~ Rock Ed Philippines donated boxes of books.

June 17, 2011 ~ We had our first outreach at Cagbacong Elementary School. We intend to continue and create sustainable development plans to students of public schools not just in Albay but hopefully nationwide.

We took the liberty of tagging some of the photos of our first Book Bigayan to Cagbacong Elementary School to to the Facebook of  Hon. Gov. Jose Salceda. A few minutes later we saw also pictures of the event in his Facebook Album entitled The spirit of Education, The culture of Sharing: Cagbacong ES. He wrote:

These ordinary pictures portray a great affirmation of the strategic clarity of EDUCATION as the provincial imperative. I am most thankful because I have long realized that I can not do it alone.

Since our budget is limited, we have to leverage our programs by optimizing public participation. The provincial budget accounts for no more than 2.2% of the underlying GDP of Albay- thus, we have to focus on the essentials or the imperatives of human development to attain critical mass or threshold and economies of scale in our programs, thus get the best and the most bang from the bucks.

We can spread our resources too thinly over so many fronts, so we have a 10 point strategy and if compelled to choose two, the top 2 essentials are EDUCATION and HEALTH.

Thank you so much Hon. Gov. Jose Salceda for the recognition. Dios Mabalos po.

June 26, 2011 ~ Our former High School World History and IV~St. Thomas Adviser donated a box of encyclopedias

July 11, 2011 ~ We donated encyclopedias, high school textbooks and educational supplies to Pawa High School

We had the holiday edition of the book box project at Bitano elementary School entitled: Christmas Help and Share

We were able to share the spirit of Christmas to the 240 students of Bitano Elementary School.. We entertained the students by conducting a Christmas program having Clowns, Jolilbee Mascott and Host. All 240 students were fed and given school supplies and Christmas gifts..
Also, special thanks to the teachers of Bitano Elementary School and esp. to the Principal Mr.San Jose for also helping us with this project. He was our PE and Filipino teacher in Elementary at St. Agnes’ Academy.
