Last December 2, 2011 I was able to witness the launching of the Procter & Gamble e.Studyante Program at the Manuel L. Quezon Elementary School in Tondo, Manila.
So what is this program all about? This is an e-learning advocacy program of P&G Philippines in partnership with Smart Communications, Inc and the Synergeia Foundation. It will provide beneficiary school children with child-friendly laptops from the One Laptop per Child (OPLC) Association and internet connectivity from Smart. Students therefore can enjoy a self-discover a wider world of knowledge that helps them be more competitive in the future.
But why laptop? Accordingly, "laptop" has aspirational value compared to giving the students their traditional needs such as "paper and pens". Computer or laptop will bring everything to the future. Laptops will give them aspiration to go to school everyday, other than the functional effects for students and parents, "may puso, may excitement". Our kids deserve the best, so why not give them the best.
As consumers how can we share our support in this advocacy? that is by simply buying specially marked P&G promo packs available nationwide. You can save up to 40% on your favorite P&G products and contribute to making students' eduation more engaging and fun through laptops and the internet.
Participating P&G brands include Safeguard, Tide, Pampers, Downy, Ariel, Pantene, Head & Shoulders, Joy, Rejoice, Olay, Glette, Vicks and Ambi-Pur.
