HAPI Alabang Reading Room Book Campaign – Part 1

The cost of textbooks and private tutorials can be pretty high. Not many students have access to additional resources and parents do not have extra funds to spend on these resources. Pre-loved textbooks provide additional information for school subjects that the children are taking. Many elementary and middle school students looked for math and science books while high school students looked for books about literature, economics, and advanced math subjects. These students are all registered participants in the HAPI Alabang Reading Room, but we encouraged them also to take a book or two for siblings or friends who may not have joined. It is important to pass on these textbooks because they help them study using materials that are different from the ones provided by their school, yet have the same coverage. There is no easy access to public libraries in the country, especially for students in these areas. This is why we are determined to continue bringing resources to them throughout the year.
