The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) – Zambales 2nd District Engineering Office (DEO), in collaboration with the District Engineers League of the Philippines, Inc. (DELP), recently distributed school supply kits at Judd Hendricks Memorial Aeta School in San Marcelino.

Now in its 7th year, DELP’s “Gamit Pang-Eskwela Handog ay Saya” program benefited a total of 130 Aeta students, each receiving essential school supplies, including bags, pencil cases, ball pens, erasers, coloring materials, notebooks, and slippers.

In his message, Engr. Rey M. Lerio, Officer-In-Charge of the District Engineer’s Office, emphasized the importance of supporting students in underserved areas by providing essential educational materials.

“Para makapunta rito, kailangan pang sumakay ng bangka, maglakad paakyat ng bundok, at tumawid sa ilog. Ang hirap para sa inyong mga estudyante ang ganitong sitwasyon kaya kahit malayo, ang mahalaga ay naihatid natin ang gamit pang-eskwela na makatutulong sa inyo. Para sa inyong lahat iyan at sana ay mas ganahan kayong mag-aral sa munting regalo na hatid namin sa inyo,” Lerio said.

Meanwhile, Teacher-In-Charge Cliffton C. Jayma expressed heartfelt appreciation to the DPWH for selecting their school as the beneficiary, highlighting the significant impact of this initiative on supporting their students’ educational journey.

“Maraming salamat po sa pagpunta ninyo rito at pagpili sa aming eskwelahan bilang beneficiary. Ang donasyong ito ay ‘di lamang magbibigay sa mga estudyante ng mga kagamitan para sa kanilang edukasyon kundi mamo-motivate din silang magsikap sa pag-aaral,” Jayma remarked.

The success of this outreach activity underscores the Zambales 2nd DEO and DELP’s dedication to supporting underserved communities and making a meaningful difference by providing essential educational materials as students return for the new school year.
