Project: Brent NHS Children's Library

The NHS chapter at Brent International School Manila has been making a difference in the lives of the public school children of Gawad Kalinga (GK) Philips Village, Philippines.  For the past 6 years they have held a weekly tutoring program, but these children only had access to two workbooks (Math and English). Last year, the chapter decided to establish a children’s library for the village.  Members took initiatives and worked collaboratively for 6 months. They organized a school-wide book drive and a fundraiser to build the library.  The ‘Brent NHS Children’s Library’ was inaugurated on the10^th of December by the school principal and the president of the village.
