Ateneo de Davao University 4th-year mass communication students spearheaded by Charles Michael Tolosa presented at the weekly Club 888 media forum at The Marco Polo Davao their advocacy of applying the “pushcart classroom” idea initiated by Cable News Network (CNN) hero Efren Peñaflorida.
“This is a charity event inspired by Efren Peñaflorida who used pushcarts in to teach street children,” Tolosa said.
He added that on February 16, Tulak adBOOKasyon will gather people from the community who are willing to push wooden carts (kariton) that will collect unused textbooks from different houses of Dona Vicenta Village, Bajada Davao City which will be given to the kids of Balay Pasilungan in Bankerohan, which houses male children aged 9-15.
“We already went to Dona Vicenta to inform the households so that by Saturday all books are ready and we are happy to receive good feedback on it,” Tolosa bared, adding that they are currently calling for volunteers to be involved in their advocacy even as they are accepting educational books that will be helpful to the beneficiaries.
“Volunteers will simply invest time and effort and it will be only selfless individuals doing selfless acts,” Tolosa explained.
