In a statement, Superintendent Leilani Cunanan expressed her appreciation as she said, “I would like to extend our gratitude to Grolier Philippines … this is indeed very timely this is the time when our learners really need a lot of materials where they can develop their skill in reading…they need all the help they can get to make their time at home productive.”

The donations were turned over to the SDO and schools from April 12 to 23. A Certificate of Appreciation was issued to GII after the activity.
