Dear Simon and Cheryl Card,

I’m writing to thank you for your generous donation of school and teacher supplies to the Balicasag Island Primary and Secondary School located on Panglao Island, Philippines. As a school with very minimal resources, both students and teachers were very excited to receive them. Please rest assured that they will be put to good use, and aid student leaning for years to come.

The teachers in particular convey their heartfelt gratitude, specifically Mrs. Anita Gonzalez and Ana Delacruz, who insisted I relay that the materials have instilled a new enthusiasm in their classrooms. They invite you to please visit their classrooms the next time you’re in the Philippines so you can see for yourselves how the children have put these materials to use.

With gratitude and thanks,

Mrs. Maricel Valdez-Vannatter
