๐ฆ๐บ๐๐ฆ๐ต๐ญ As a part of Ekklesia, our faith and mission program, St Pauls Catholic College has been donating multiple lots of second-hand books to a Catholic School in the Philippines since 2021. Cabarrus Catholic College is a Catholic school located in Sipalay, Negros Occidental, south of the Philippines. The staff and students of Cabarrus Catholic College are very grateful for the book donations as it has ignited the studentsโ love for reading and refurbished their library with a vast collection of books from the library at St Pauls Catholic College.
We also are so grateful to FOREX CARGO Australia for their support in shipping our book donations at a discounted price. They have been helping us with our multiple book donations to the Philippines since 2021 up to the present. We also thank all the staff and students who have helped organise and pack the books and personally donated funds to cover the cost of the delivery of the shipments and Ms Malcolm for collecting all the books. Finally, we thank Ms Martinez, she studied at this school, both in the primary and secondary years. She has personally invested her time in starting and overseeing the program. We are encouraged by your love for the poor, whose needs and rights are given special attention in Godโs eyes. We are grateful to be a part of a program where we can witness how simply the gift of second-hand books can bring joy and love of truth and learning in their community.
