As schools rush forward into the world of iPads and paperless homework assignments, the old paper workbooks are sitting in storage closets and finding their way into dumpsters. We want you to know that there are places where these are good as gold. Thanks to some very thoughtful teachers at our Lasallian schools, we were able to have workbooks like these shipped to the Bahay Pag-asa Youth Centers. These are so valuable here that the students don't write in them - the thought of using them up is alien to a culture that values every available resource. They carefully copy the problems into their own notebooks. Students and teachers here are finding these workbooks to be a very real blessing. Considering what we have to work with and the limitations of technology out here in the sugar cane fields, we will be able to find good uses for these kinds of educational tools. So if you're thinking of throwing these away, please consider packing them up in a balikbayan box and sending them our way. They will be a blessing for us!
