Continuing its commitment to support basic education in the Philippines, Wallenius has donated its seventh Kinder classroom/library with counterpart support from AGAPP Foundation and PTC-CSJ Foundation.
The beneficiary of the new facility is Sta. Rita Elementary School in Minalin, a fourth-class municipality in the province of Pampanga. The donation provides a dedicated learning space designed to foster literacy and early childhood development.
