BUGTAW visited 55 enthusiastic students in Lambuano, Iloilo, sharing over 200 pre-loved books! 📚
Caninguan National High School (CNHS) is situated in Barangay Caninguan, a rural area, 13 kilometres from Lambunao town proper. Out of 1,459 enrolees from 14 feeder barangays (neighbourhoods), 1,392 are Indigenous Peoples. Some students have to cross the river and some have to walk about 3 kilometres to/from school each day.
The students participated in 5 educational activities and as well as shared a simple meal together – food always tastes better when shared! School stationary packs + health and safety packs were also distributed to all 55 attendees ❤︎

BUGTAW volunteers also highlighted the power of storytelling with the classic tale: “Old Farmer and His Three Sons”
Then the old man said to his sons, “My sons, you have seen that a single stick can be easily broken, but a bundle of sticks cannot be so easily broken. So you understand that if you live separately after my death, your enemies will easily destroy you, one by one. But if all of you live jointly, your enemies will not be able to do any harm to you.”
The story imparts a valuable lesson: We are stronger when we work together!
BUGTAW “A book a day” is now a proud partner of CNHS’ school programmes, specifically in reading and literacy. To all the wonderful Faculty and Staff of CNHS, damo nga salamat, for supporting our work.
