The Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc. (TYKFI) has continued the legacy of educating the youth because it is in starting them young that they are prepared well and ensured of a better future. This year, TYKFI has once again visited adopted communities to distribute much-needed uniforms and supplies to children from some of the poorest families in the country.
In Ilocos Sur, TYKFI distributed uniforms and school supplies to 4Ps high school students from Ilocos Sur National High School (ISNHS), Vigan East National High School and Vigan West National High School and grade school pupils from Babayoan Elementary School, Nagtenga Elementary School, Sidaoen Elementary School, and San Julian Elementary School from September 21 to 22, 2015.
In simple ceremonies, the school heads from Ilocos Sur welcomed the TYKFI team composed of Elizabeth Alba, Valerie Tan, Evelyn Abao, Jan Irorita and Raymond Apan with messages of goodwill and gratitude on behalf of the student bodies of the schools. Most of the schools also prepared entertainment and cultural performances like songs and dances. Valerie Tan gave a simple message on behalf of the Foundation.
Among the local government and school officials who graced the distribution event in Ilocos Sur National High School Gym on September 21, 2015 were Provincial Board Member Hon. Edgar Yabes, City Councilor George Villanueva, Schools Division Superintendent Alberto Macob and DepEd Regional Director Teresita Velasco. Velasco told the students how blessed they were to have been selected to be the recipients of the school supplies and should take extra care of these items and be inspired to study harder.
Ms. Gloria A. Frando, Head Teacher VI of ISNHS Science Department urged the student body to take note of this noble project and to use the school supplies they received the best way they can. She said: “Be thankful for all the support given to you by non-government organizations like Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc. I hope this will inspire you to strive for a better education despite the difficulties you are experiencing in life.”
