The school supplies donation held last June 12, 2013 was intended for young sampaguita vendors around the University of the Philippines Los Baños Campus. After gathering donations in the form of either old school supplies or cash from the members or from other people, the Rotaract Club of Los Baños was able to provide at least seven children with items such as bags, pencils, notebooks and papers. The activity was suggested by Rotaractor Amanda Lee Centeno, who, as a UPLB student, sees these kids everyday and now has a soft spot for them.
The distribution of the school supplies was done at the Carabao Park inside the campus. The children’s parents were also there as the club members talked to them about their lives. Snacks were also served among the participants. The project didn’t undergo enough planning. But since it was a success, there is a big probability that the club will conduct it again next year.
