AF-USA donates to DepEd's
'Sagip Eskwela' initiative

The Ayala Foundation USA (AF-USA) recently turned over to Education Secretary Ramon Bacani a grant of 850,000 pesos (15,000 US dollars) for the Sagip Eskwela Project of the Department of Education (DepEd). Through the donation, the AF-USA hopes to help DepEd rehabilitate the more than a thousand schools in the regions that were severely hit by the spate of typhoons late last year. Aside from rebuilding of schools, the grant will also help repair school furniture, replace textbooks and other learning materials.

The donation is made possible through the generous support from Filipino-American communities in the United States.
