Call for 2011 Christmas Donations in Behalf of Sta. Elena Elementary School, Hagonoy

This Christmas, you may want to share some old or new school supplies to the pupils and teachers of *Sta. Elena Elementary School. *This school is the hardest hit Hagonoy school in the recent onslaught of typhoon Pedring and Quiel. The Socials Committee coordinated with a graduate student of our College, and he had inquired about the needs of this school. A formal letter that itemizes the request has been sent by the school's Disaster Committee Chair. The items below are just some of things that appear in this list.

May we ask your students/classes, through your coordination, to provide some of the items in the list? A big donation box will be placed at the College lobby for these donations. Please help us disseminate this information by reading this appeal to your classes. *Some areas have decided to ask students to donate items that are related to their majors. You may choose to do the same.

Thank you very much. We hope to give the donations before the start of classes in January, but since our break in the University will start on the 15th, we hope that you will disseminate this request to your students asap, so that they can bring their donations before the Christmas break.

Maraming salamat po! *
