The College of Arts and Sciences of Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation conducted its annual community extension service initiative, the Apple + Pen Project, last October 14, 2021, to the Badjao Community residing in Brgy Barra, Lucena City, where school supplies are given to the Badjao students.
According to Mr. Magtanggol Ragas, the principal of Barra Elementary School, pencils, pad sheets, notebooks, crayons, envelopes, sharpeners, and reams of bond paper were among the school materials distributed to them.
65 Badjao students from kindergarten to grade six will benefit from the donated school supplies. Since October is National Indigenous Peoples Month, the said activity is believed to be of the utmost importance. Dr. Victor Oribe, CAS-CES Coordinator, together with the professors of the College of Arts and Sciences led the project.
