Partnership in Service Program PP Ever Macatulad Teacher Training Program Christmas Bazaar & Last Angel Project Centennial Gawad Kalinga Project Books Across the Seas |
Books Across the Seas (BATS) Started in 1988-1989, BATS entails the sourcing of text and reference books from the United States and distributing them through Rotary Clubs to schools and libraries across the country. The club works with the Pittsburgh-based Brother's Brother Foundation, which provides and ships the books to the Philippines , and Allied Bank, which has made available a huge warehouse where books are sorted out and stamped prior to release. The project has given away over 10 million books to over 41,000 schools and libraries across the country, and has benefited some 25 million students. In RY 2004-2005, the project entered a new phase with the approval of a US$400,000 grant from the USAID for the distribution of 60 container loads of books over a period of 3 years to schools in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).
