KCFI, SKY Bring Books, Videos, and Holiday Cheer to QC Kids

With the Season of Giving in full swing, Knowledge Channel Foundation Inc. (KCFI) and SKY teamed up in giving the gift of knowledge and reading to the Grade 1 pupils of Paltok Elementary School in Quezon City. KCFI donated more than 50 videos of the Kuwentong Pambata animated series based on the children’s storybooks published by Adarna Publishing House. SKY on the other hand, donated a box of these storybooks, all culled from the donations of SKY subscribers.

The turnover of these resources came at the right time as KCFI is actively pursuing a project on early reading comprehension and oral fluency. “Imporante yung matuto kayong magbasa nang mabuti at maintindihan ang binabasa,” said KCFI President Rina Lopez Bautista in her opening remarks. “To the teachers, please utilize and maximize yung videos para yung mga bata they can also watch what they read.” She also emphasized that both Knowledge Channel and SKY believe that reading is the backbone of knowledge and learning.

Paltok Elementary School Principal Helen Hilario received the gifts and promised to use them effectively, especially in their reading remediation program. “In behalf of the 921 pupils and their parents, 22 teachers and 9 non-teaching personnel, we welcome this gift for the development of our pupils. This is a rare moment for them. Reading should be inculcated and enhanced all year round,” she said. “Dapat sa Paltok, lahat ng bata nakababasa.”

This year, the school was also installed with an educational package from Knowledge Channel thanks to a donation made by a member of the Rotary Club of Makati Olympia. One of their classrooms have been converted into a Knowledge Channel viewing room where the television and Sky Direct box have been mounted. “Thank you very much Knowledge Channel and SKY. Sa ngayon napakaling tulong nito to enhance the learning areas of our pupils lalo na at nakasunod kami sa K to 12 and multimedia learning,”said Ma’am Melissa Pelayo, Paltok ES Master Teacher.

“Nagpapasalamat ako sa Knowledge Channel para matulungan ang mga batang Paltok. Isa sa mga ganing magandang epekto ng Knowledge Channel sa school namin ay mas nagkaroon sila ng interest at kagustuhan mag-aral,” added Ma’am Magdalena Logdat, Science Coordinator.

Help more public schools gain access to quality educational resources and videos.
