Cagayan de Oro City – We are absolutely thrilled to share that over 300 books have been successfully turned over to the learners of Baungon Elementary School in Bukidnon.
This meaningful project was born out of a wonderful partnership between Children’s Progressive School, led by School Directress Corabel Diel, and the incredible team at the Zonta Club of Macajalar Bay (ZCMB). Together, our goal is to support public school education, spark curiosity, and build a stronger foundation for young readers in remote communities.
Every single book is a stepping stone to a brighter tomorrow. By equipping public school classrooms, we’re bridging learning gaps and helping local children thrive academically.
30 bright smiles and a room full of endless possibilities! We are so overjoyed to see the books from our donation drive finally in the hands of the wonderful students at Baungon Elementary School.

Every book is a stepping stone to a brighter tomorrow. Seeing the pure joy on these kids’ faces reminds us exactly why community partnerships matter. Here’s to raising the next generation of readers and leaders.

Leading with purpose and passion!
