MANILA, Philippines — Even bad weather was not enough to dampen the spirits of Fort Aguinaldo Elementary School (FAES) as they welcomed the launching of their newly-refurbished library with much joy and enthusiasm last Nov. 10. As one of the teachers said, “The rain is but another blessing pouring unto usâ€.

There is absolutely no stopping AHON Foundation from reaching out provincial public elementary schools across the country! A week after it launched a fully refurbished library at Sto. Tomas Elementary School, AHON Foundation set forth once again to Pampanga on May 5 and 7, 2010, to set-up and inaugurate the newest library in the town of Minalin.
Situated in the youngest and smallest municipality of Pampanga, Santo Tomas Elementary School (STES) caters to a grade school population a little more than 300 pupils only. The school is blessed with a vast piece of land on which its school buildings and a basketball court are built. However, with a limited budget allocated for library functions, the said elementary school is not able to develop if not maintain a library that can stimulate the love for reading among the students.
Located at the foot of Mount Banoy, the small Talumpok Proper Elementary School is far from the Batangas City's noise and pollution. It is covered by several trees and the normal day for the students and teachers would be one filled with a cool breeze. Unfortunately, because the school of 400 students is far from the city proper of Batangas, donations and assistance from different institutions rarely reach them.
Race to 1,000 cups was quite a huge number to fill, but not with the Blue Eagles preparing and serving The White Hat yogurt! Last February 13, 2010 at The White Hat Shangri-La Branch, the Ateneo Blue Eagles volunteered to serve yogurt from 1:00-5:00PM to help raise literacy rates through Acts of Hope for the Nation (AHON) Foundation.
