Pusong Pinoy was thrilled that the first batch of books collected arrived in Manila. Destination: De La Salle Lipa City's Book Mobile and Reading Program (BMRP). Through a transportable library and a guided reading program, the De La Salle BMRP is a response & commitment to develop children's reading skills directed towards increased functional literacy.
Message from Ningning C. Doble (Pusong Pinoy Liaison for DLSL:
"In behalf of the 3,000+ grades 1-3 children from eight public schools in Lipa City that De La Salle Book Mobile and Reading Program (BMRP) will be covering for this school year, our most sincere gratitude for the 1,000 books that Pusong Pinoy members so painstakingly gathered from the generous Filipinos in America...thank you so much! With these books, we hope to imbibe in them the genuine love for reading so that learning in all subject areas becomes an easier task."
De La Salle Lipa's BMRP won the Excellence Award for Education in January 2010's Asian Forum CSR Awards. BMRP is a recipient of over 3,000 books from Pusong Pinoy's book drive. Congratulations, BMRP!
