More than 200 children of families belonging to the Danao Fisherfolks Association and the Purok 3 and 4 Daurong Anti-Panglao Island Reclamation Project received school supplies solicited by the students.


The activity is a yearly project of the SACHS which was organized by the VPHCS in Bohol. The students organization with members coming from different nursing schools including University of Bohol and Holy Name University in Tagbilaran City has been very active in medical missions and community outreach programs initiated by the VPHCS.


The 16 students also had a group discussion on the adverse effects of the reclamation project in Panglao and visited the affected families.
