Notebooks For Students: A Back-To-School Wish, Granted

 

Dr. Teresita Landicho, prinicpal of Galicia Elementary School, and Ms. Aida Odonzo, a kindergartern teacher, express their gratitude to Wish 1075 for giving school supplies to 25 Kindergarten and Grade 1 students.

Wish 1075 counts down to its first year anniversary with a mission to grant wishes of listeners.

In line with the school season, the only wish-granting station recently fulfilled a back-to-school request.

Mariflor Sosa, a medical technologist from Mendez, Cavite, has been helping less fortunate students in her hometown for five years now by donating writing notebooks to public schools together with her friends.

She shared how she and her friends would save P20 from their daily budget to raise money for their advocacy.

She helps Kindergarten and Grade 1 students in Galicia Elementary School, a school she perceives to be the poorest among the public schools in Mendez, Cavite.

“Nakakaawa ‘yung mga bata,” Mariflor said. (The kids are pitiful.)

Helping others through education is very important to Mariflor. However, she admitted that she often could not come up with enough number of notebooks to give away.

Then she heard about the wish-granting mission of Wish 1075 through a friend of hers. So this year, with the help of Wish 1075, complete sets of notebooks were given to the students.

“To all the staff and management of Wish FM, I wish to express my deepest and sincerest gratitude that you’re helping me to help other children. Sobrang nagpapasalamat talaga ako, napaiyak nga ako,” Mariflor said.  (I am really very thankful, I couldn’t help crying.)

Wish 1075 salutes people like Mariflor who has a meek heart and helps others even in simple ways. Nearing its first year anniversary on the airwaves, the station is more inspired and energized to grant many more wishes.
