The Insular Foundation has turned over educational assistance to Grade 6 students in three public elementary schools.
The Foundation distributed school uniforms, shoes, bags, school supplies and hygiene kits to 257 Adopt-A-Scholar beneficiaries from Bayanan Elementary School Main and Alabang Elementary School Main in Muntinlupa City, and Balili Elementary School Main in Benguet. The Foundation also awarded cash gifts to the top three scholars from these schools.
Insular Foundation Program Manager Teresita T. Melad said InLife employees support the Adopt-A-Scholar Program as their way of sharing their blessings with others.
“Every year for six consecutive years, InLife employees donate to Insular Foundation’s Adopt-A-Scholar Program. InLife employees hope that all our scholars can finish elementary education and move up to secondary and college levels,” she said.
Sean Cauanan, Grade 6 student from Alabang Elementary School, thanked Insular Foundation for the educational assistance. “Lubos po kaming nagpapasalamat sa lahat ng tulong na ibinibigay ng Insular Foundation sa amin. Hinding-hindi po namin ito malilimutan. Babaunin po namin ito hanggang makamit po namin ang tagumpay. Huwag po sana kayong tumigil na tumulong pa sa iba.”
Dr. Edizer Lacqueo, Principal of Bayanan Elementary School Main, expressed appreciation to Insular Foundation for being the school’s partner over the years. “Nagpapasalamat kami sa Insular Foundation dahil sa walang-sawa nilang pagtulong sa ating mga estudyante sa loob ng anim na taon, may pandemya man o wala. Katuwang natin ang Insular Foundation hindi lamang sa programang ito, kung hindi sa iba pang may kinalaman sa pagsusulong ng edukasyon,” Lacqueo said.
Dr. Shella Navarro, Principal of Alabang Elementary School, for her part, thanked Insular Foundation for providing enrichment activities to teachers. “Nagpapasalamat kami sa Insular Foundation dahil hindi lamang mga estudyante ang tinulungan sa nakaraang anim na taon, kung hindi pati na sa aming mga guro dito sa Alabang Elementary School sa pamamagitan ng iba’t ibang enrichment activities.”
Established in 1963, the Insular Foundation is the corporate giving subsidiary of InLife, and is one of the first corporate foundations in the Philippines.
