Turnover Report for Guadalupe Elementary School, Baybay, Leyte
Books for Classrooms and Library November 30, 2005By: Felix L. Ocon, Program Administrator
Guadalupe Elementary School in Baybay, Leyte received a refurbished computer from Move On Philippines on July 22, 2005. Since then, the principal of Guadalupe has also requested dictionaries and reference books from Move On Philippines. Therefore, Trustees approved to send Guadalupe Elementary School several dictionaries and pre-owned library books. The box containing several packages of resources (2 dictionaries and 47 library books) for Guadalupe arrived the Philippines on November 16, 2005. However, due to several scheduling conflicts (postponement of PTCA meeting due to upcoming barangay fiesta and other unforeseen circumstances), the resources were not delivered to the school until November 30, 2005.
The principal was out during turnover because he is also in-charge of eleven other schools in the area. A simple turnover of books was conducted after the flag ceremony. In the absence of the principal, the Officer-in-Charge (OIC) of the school announced my arrival to the students. After introducing me, I read the transmittal letter from Move On Philippines. Then books were distributed for students to browse. Children were ecstatic to see colorful pages and nicely bound books. It was quite moving to witness what simple joy a book can bring to a child’s face.
After the turnover, pictures were taken including the refurbished computer donated by Move On Philippines. The children were cooperative, even voluntarily posing as I took their pictures. Afterwards, books were collected from the students so that teachers could place them in the school library. Then the OIC shared an inspiring message with the students, encouraging students to take the time to read the newly received books. On behalf of the principal, teachers and students of Guadalupe Elementary, the OIC expressed her appreciation to trustees and donors of Move On Philippines for the books the school received.
Following closing remarks, the acknowledgement letter was signed indicating receipt of the books. Then additional photographs of teachers and students were taken for documentation purposes.
