GLOBAL YOUTH DAY with BUGTAW!
On a vibrant Saturday morning, 35 enthusiastic children aged 5-16 gathered for Global Youth Day, themed 'Show up in the Cities'. This special event was a collaboration between the Lord’s Army and BUGTAW, aiming to inspire and educate the youth of Barangay Mampayag
Facilitated by dedicated members of the Lord’s Army, the event featured a series of engaging lectures on Road Safety, Cybersecurity in Social Media, and Nutrition for Teens. These sessions were tailored to be both informative and entertaining, ensuring that the young attendees were actively engaged.
The highlight of the event was the book reading and book giving, led by the passionate Lead Volunteer, Ervin Yano. Ervin ardently explained the history, mission, and vision of BUGTAW, emphasising the importance of education through reading. He encouraged the children to embrace the concept of 'rising' to meet each day ("Bugtaw" in Aklanon) and the habit of reading “a book a day.” ☀️
The positive reactions of the children were captured in photos, reflecting their gratitude and eagerness to learn. The community's willingness to adopt the “community library concept,” where books are exchanged among friends and neighbours, aligns perfectly with BUGTAW’s mission to promote literacy and reading for fun!
