ZAMBOANGA CITY -- A City Council member here said Thursday he is launching a project that will benefit indigent elementary school students in this southern port city.
Councilor Joselito Macrohon said project "shoebox" will be launched on July 8 until August this year.
Macrohon said his office has so far collected 30 shoeboxes to be filled with school supplies and toys by donors and will be given to indigent elementary school students.
Project shoebox is envisioned to benefit some 2,000 indigent students enrolled in various elementary schools in this city.
“I urged the public, especially those who have the means to help, to support the project for the benefit of poor students,” he said.
“Through the project, we can help and encourage poor students to go to school,” he added.
Macrohon said he thought of the project after seeing during the campaign period the plight of poor students in the barangays.
He said the lack of school supplies discourages some of the elementary students to go to school. (PNA)
