TROOPERS of the Army’s 10th Field Artillery “Rolling Thunder” Battalion (10FAB) partnered with local radio station to conduct an outreach program at Cuyapon Elementary School in North Cotabato on Aug. 15.
This particular school was chosen due to its vulnerability to floods. The surrounding sitios of Upper Silangan, Lower Silangan, and Pangatog serve as natural catch basins, forcing students to travel by boat or wade through floodwaters just to attend classes.
A total of 158 students from Kindergarten to Grade 6 received assistance. The program distributed 77 hygiene kits to the pupils to promote personal health and 101 school supply kits for Kindergarten to Grade 3 learners.
School principal Glyziel Anne Graviles thanked the organizers, saying the activity delivered not just supplies, but also “a strong message of compassion and hope” to the learners.
