SM Davao promotes book reading

Last July 17, SM City Davao along with 43 SM malls across the country and 4 malls in China advocated for book reading among children. 

SM Cares through its Committee on Youth and Children’s Welfare has been observing the National Children’s Book Reading Day for the past 3 years. This year’s celebration was supported by the Department of Education (DepEd), the National Book Development Board (NBDB), Vibal Publications, National Bookstore, SM Foundation Inc., BDO Foundation, and Jollibee. The event was participated in by kids from Circular Homes and Euro Asia.

“25 years ago, when SM opened its first Mall to the public (at North EDSA), we were given an opportunity to help improve the quality of life of the community surrounding us.  Today, the SM Supermalls have become home to more than 12,000 tenants, 25,000 SM employees, serving 3 million shoppers daily, nationwide. And we have grown because our customers and partners have allowed us to grow with you. Truly, the SM Malls have now grown beyond shopping, beyond entertainment, and leisure. It is now about taking affirmative action in our social responsibilities.  It is now, about taking initiatives to be instrumental in caring for children, the best way we can. It is now about, how SM gives back,” says Engr. Nick Santos, SM Davao assistant mall manager. 

Dr. Rovic Cuasito and BDO Foundation volunteers were the readers for the activity. Also in attendance were City Librarian Norafe Alajar and Department of Education Regional Supervisor II Carmencita Diamante.

“Kudos to SM City Davao for their efforts to instill in our young Davaoeños love for reading through this National Book Reading Campaign. This is in line with ‘Magbasa Ta’ project in the local government which extends our literacy program to far-flung communities through story-telling in barangays,” City Librarian Norafe Alajar reads in behalf of the city mayor.

Apart from the very entertaining story-telling session, games and mascot interaction, SIR Elementary School and Kabacan Elementary School also received children’s books from SM Foundation during the activity.

The Kadayawan Phoenix Run is set on August 12

This official run of the Kadayawan Sa Dabaw Festival 2012 will be used as a vehicle to launch a massive awareness campaign on the state of Davao’s watershed.

It is organized to provide a venue for Davaoeños to actively participate in the campaign by joining the run and pledge their commitment to become ambassadors of protecting the environment especially our watershed. The run is also a campaign to help the environment by encouraging every runner to practice 3R (Recycle, Re-use, Reduce).

The Phoenix Kadayawan Run 2012 is for the benefit of the Talomo-Lipadas watershed, one of the two watersheds that serve as the main source of water supply in Davao City. As DCWD reveals, Davao City's groundwater is largely dependent on two watersheds, the 235-hectare Malagos watershed in Calinan and the 38,460-hectare Mt. Talomo-Lipadas watershed.

For every runner, one tree shall be planted to help protect and conserve the Talomo-Lipadas watershed. We can act and contribute in our own little way to the watershed area that ensures that  Davao City continues to get safe and potable water. By just running on August 12 you have taken the first step because a tree will be planted in your behalf.

We can make a difference NOW.
