Extension Services’ gift-giving drive reaches JMA Poniton ES
EDUCATION AND RESEARCH (ED)In the spirit of generosity and
solidarity, Catanduanes State University (CatSU) Extension Services conducted
the Paogma Gift-Giving Outreach Activity at JMA Poniton Elementary School on
December 11.
Led by Dr. Adem Nalu V. Rubio,
Director of Extension Services, alongside CatSU extensionists and staff, the
initiative brought smiles to the faces of 78 pupil-beneficiaries.
“This outreach activity was not
just about providing material aid but also about showing the pupils that they
are cared for and supported by their community. We are deeply grateful to the
CatSU office heads and everyone who donated clothing, toys, and other valuable
resources for the children,” Dr. Rubio said.
The event was organized in
response to the needs of JMA Poniton’s young learners, many of whom come from
families facing financial challenges. Alongside food packs containing rice,
canned goods, and other staples, the activity distributed second-hand clothing,
toys, and learning materials, making the season brighter for the pupils.
