MR.DIY's Brigada Eskwela: Fostering Education Through Acts of Compassion

With the aim of cultivating a more promising tomorrow and propagating Acts of Kindness (AOK), MR.DIY has successfully wrapped up its meaningful two-phase "Brigada Eskwela" back-to-school initiative. Carried out on July 21 and July 22, 2023, this campaign vividly demonstrated MR.DIY's steadfast dedication to effecting positive change in the lives of budding scholars and the neighborhoods they belong to.

Transforming Concepcion Elementary School, Malabon City

The first phase of the campaign took place on July 21, 2023, as MR.DIY staff, in collaboration with the committed World Vision Team, took proactive steps at Concepcion Elementary School in Malabon City. With shared dedication, the volunteers worked passionately to rejuvenate the educational setting and bring joyful expressions to the students' countenances.

The day started with a complete classroom refurbishment, involving a thorough general cleaning and a fresh coat of paint to breathe new life into the rooms. To create a more engaging and conducive space for learning, the volunteers thoughtfully furnished the classrooms with curtains and visual aids.

A heartwarming moment came during the turnover ceremony when MR.DIY proudly presented a range of essential donations, including children's books, toys, cleaning materials, school bags, steel racks, air conditioners, and PVC accordions. These contributions will undoubtedly provide invaluable support to the students and teachers of Concepcion Elementary School, enhancing their educational journey and fostering a love for learning.

Celebrating Culture and Empowering Education in Bokod, Benguet

In a remarkable display of support for education and community development, MR.DIY has been a longstanding partner of the "Pencil for a Smile" program, organized by Pagna’t iMontanosa and founded by Analiza Pelwa, along with their dedicated member volunteers, Maia Lein Balisong, Federico Murphy, and Adam Bahingawan for the past three years. On July 22, 2023, MR.DIY employees joined hands with the 2nd Provincial Mobile Force Company headed by Police Capt. Faustino Lang-Akhan, PNP Explosive Ordinance Disposal and Canine group headed by PEMS - Norman Batoon, and the Bokod Municipal Police Office to extend a helping hand to Poodan Elementary School & Ekip Elementary School in Bokod, Benguet.

The event commenced with inspiring speeches from teachers, emphasizing the transformative power of education in shaping the future of the community. The gathering witnessed a beautiful display of cultural heritage through a mesmerizing tribe dance, bringing parents and students together in celebration of unity and togetherness. As part of this heartfelt outreach, the 2nd Provincial Mobile Force Company, PNP Explosive Ordinance Disposal and Canine, and the Bokod Municipal Police Office conducted a hair-cutting session for the students, symbolizing a fresh start and instilling confidence in their young minds.

Furthermore, MR.DIY distributed essential donations, including hygiene kits and school supplies, ensuring that the young learners have all the necessary tools to pursue their dreams and achieve their aspirations. This collaborative effort between MR.DIY, Pagna’t iMontanosa, and the local authorities demonstrate the collective commitment to empowering the next generation in Bokod, Benguet.
