San Carlos Sun Power, Inc. (SacaSun) and the Aboitiz Foundation extended a total of PHP470,000 donation to Balabag Elementary School in San Carlos City, Negros Occidental, significantly transforming its educational landscape and promising a brighter future for both students and educators.
Located in a remote area near the North Negros National Park, Balabag Elementary School faces unique challenges in providing quality education to its young learners. The recent donations, including solar lamps, water tank, bunk beds, canopy tents, and cement, are crucial lifelines to enhance the learning environment, making education more accessible and effective despite the school’s geographic isolation.
This initiative marks the beginning of a long-term partnership between SacaSun, Aboitiz Foundation, and Balabag ES through the adopt-a-school program.
Principal Wendel Garcia expressed gratitude for the generous support, emphasizing how these donations will directly impact the school community. “We are immensely grateful to SacaSun and Aboitiz Foundation for their invaluable contributions. This assistance will create a safer, healthier, and more conducive environment for our students and teachers, ultimately enriching the learning experience.”
Hedcor President and COO Rolando Pacquiao underscored the company’s commitment to education and community development. “Investing in education is investing in the future. Our collaboration with Balabag ES reflects our dedication to empowering communities and nurturing the next generation of leaders through sustainable initiatives.”
The partnership between SacaSun, Aboitiz Foundation, and Balabag ES exemplifies the transformative power of community initiatives. By providing essential resources and fostering long-term relationships, this partnership is paving the way for resilient, empowered, and sustainable communities.
SacaSun is the first solar farm of Hedcor, the renewable energy asset manager of Aboitiz Power Corporation.
