A MOA signing was conducted to signify the acceptance of the armchairs and the responsibility of the school in growing at least 80% of the donated 1,750 fruit and forest tree seedlings (equivalent to 10% of the total cost of armchairs which is Php 350.00/chair) for two years.
At the end of the program, teacher-in-charge Kervee Jastien Aberde thanked the donation as it is a great help to advance the learning facility of the extension school. The school can only be accessed through horseback riding or walking.
