AVE partylist brings goodies to school

BORACAY - Recently, AVE Party List Cong. "Amang" R. Magsaysay and volunteers converged at the Manoc-Manoc Elementary School here and personally served warm breakfast to 1, 400 elementary and high school students, teachers and non-teachers personnel.

The activity was dubbed as "Lugawan para sa mga Kabataan". It was a source of joy for the participants and beneficiaries, and a moving experience for the team members and organizers.

AVE stands for Alliance of Volunteer Educators. The office of Cong. Magsaysay funded the formation of a team of volunteers to help the students as part of its community program called "Health Care for Children, Love the Teachers, Support the Education".

It is the priority of AVE and Cong. Magsaysay that every youth must acquire and enjoy the right to education.

This is the basic need that every child must achieve, Magsaysay said.

AVE's Magsaysay also distributed to the local children of Manoc-Manoc Elementary School basic school supplies and medicines, and four electric fans for high school.

Cong. Magsaysay advocates the program's ideals and provides the necessary support for the public school teachers, scholarship for the less fortunate students and medical missions.
