Voices from the Schools

School leaders expressed their appreciation for the timely support:

“These computers will go a long way in helping our students become more familiar with technology, which is now a key part of education. We are deeply grateful to Select VoiceCom for choosing our school,” said Dra. Grace Gee, Principal of Agus Elementary School.

“We believe that education is the foundation of a better future. While there are still a lot of facilities to improve in Barrio Luz Elementary School, we’re thankful to stakeholders for their donations in kind. This will go a long way. We’re thankful to SVC for their time and donations and for choosing our school. This will really encourage our students and get them excited to go to school,” said Sir Nelson Badana, Principal of Barrio Luz Elementary School.

“Our ICT Rooms need a lot of additional computers since we’re already offering computer classes to Grades 4 through 6. Since Odette hit, our computers were never replaced, and most are already busted and not functioning. We’re grateful to SVC for donating 3 desktop computers. We’re hoping this will be the beginning of our partnership,” shared Fevilyn Limbaga, Master Teacher I and ICT Coordinator of Buyong Elementary School.
