Dewey School Children received “Suporta sa Pagbabalik Eskwela”

RSPI Adopt-a-Barangay Program donated school supplies to Brgy. Dewey school children through an activity titled “Suporta sa Pagbabalik Eskwela” on June 18, 2014.

The activity aimed to help parents and school children value education by providing basic supplies such as bag, pad papers and notebooks, pens, crayons, slippers, and rain coat or umbrella. Recipients of the supplies are 375 school children from Day Care to Grade VI.

Barangay Dewey, Bolinao, Pangasinan is the second beneficiary of the three-year Adopt-a-Barangay Program of RSPI. The Adopt-a-Barangay Program was developed with a goal to transform the less privileged communities into an economically and socially viable; just and healthy community through self-reliance through its three program components on socio-economic development, health, and social and spiritual transformation.

The program for Dewey formally started in 2013 when the barangay through its Punong Barangay Dominador Reoligio signed a binding agreement with RSPI.

Previous projects and services extended were 1) Quality Danggit Production and 2) Green Grouper “Lapu-Lapu Culture”. The Quality Danggit Production Project was served to 15 beneficiaries who are members of the Women's Group of Barangay Dewey while the latest and on-going Green Grouper “Lapu-Lapu Culture” Project caters to the Dewey Fishermen’s Association composed of 15 members.

Meanwhile, RSPI will continue to look for other projects that will truly help the community before the program phases out in 2016.
