Laguna Teacher Earns Praises Online for Putting Up Food Pantry for Students Without Baon
KIND TEACHER – A Laguna teacher went the extra mile and puts up a food pantry for less-fortunate students without baon.
A teacher from Laguna identified as Christian Obo from Kapayapaan Integrated School in Calamba has decided to start a food pantry for poor students with empty stomachs. He even used his own money for the program.
Obo claimed that he made this decision for the pupils since he knows how hard it is for them to study without having eaten. Fortunately, other educators are eager to assist although their salaries aren’t that big.
“Meron talaga kaming mga mag-aaral na kapos na kung saan sapat lang yung pera nila for transportation kaya naman lagi ako nag-iimbak ng pagkain, Alam ko na malaking bagay ito para sa kanila dahil mahirap po ang walang laman ang sikmura kapag nasa paaralan,” Obo said.
The kind-hearted educator revealed that it was his way to give back to those who helped him, especially his friends and teachers. He was able to survive high school with the help of his friends.
“When I was in elementary, I experienced going to school without any cent, When I was in high school, papasok ako (nang) sapat lang yung pera kong pamasahe. I was able to survive also with the help of my friends and teachers.” Obo added.
The educator is hoping that his advocacy will inspire other teachers to help less-fortunate students.
