Isang Milyong Aklat, Isang Milyong Pangarap

Do you know that...
-More than 2 million Filipino students can't read
-More than 20% of Philippines' public high school students cannot understand what they are reading
-That in High School Readiness Test (HRET) given by Department of Education to 1st year high school students all over the Philippines, less than 2% was able to get a score of 75%or higher
-That many public schools all over the Philippines don't have adequate public school libraries and enough books for students to read

But it is true that we can do something about this Growing Problem...

The Acts of Hope for the Nation (AHON) Foundation (the corporate social arm of Filway Marketing, Inc.) and K.I.D.S Foundation (the foundation established by actor Diether Ocampo) together with Campaigns and Grey and Pizza Hut have joined forces to launch Isang Milyong Aklat, Isang Milyong Pangarap

Isang Milyong Aklat, Isang Milyong Pangarap is a campaign that aims to raise a million books for our public schools all over the country. Through this campaign, the foundation hopes to be able to help put more books into 300 public school libraries that will benefit over 1 million students.

If you would like to donate books (preferably reference materials, dictionaries, storybooks, novels and science books) or volunteer your time and skills to make this happen, please send an email at isangmilyonaklat@gmail.com. You can also help by passing this email on your friends or posting it in your blog! (just like this)
