Smart donates desktop computer to Bolongtohan School
Smart Communications, Inc. (SMART) turned over a refurbished desktop
computer to Bolongtohan Elementary School in Dulag, Leyte during the
culminating program of the Read-to-be-Smart Summer Storytelling
program. School bags made from recycled tarpaulin by the residents of
the PLDT-SMART Amazing Gawad Kalinga Village in Sooc, Arevalo, Iloilo
were also distributed among the kids who participated in the summer
activity. Some 60 children from Grades 1 to 6 of the said school
participated in the storytelling program, which ran for five Saturdays
starting early April. The summer storytelling activity is part of
Read-to-be-Smart, an education initiative under SMART’s corporate
social responsibility and community service program Kabalikat.
Read-to-be-Smart was also conducted in other parts of the country,
including Manila, Ozamis, General Santos, Davao, Bukidnon, Sarangani
province, and Zamboanga City.
