Anonymous donor gives e-media set to DSWD children

LA TRINIDAD, Benguet --- An unidentified donor last week gave a Samsung 32-inch TV set and a Samsung digital video disc (DVD) player to children of the reception and study center for children (RSCC) here.

Center Head Judith de Guzman said the items were brought to the center morning of Nov. 19.

De Guzman added the donor may have purchased the equipment from Tiong San in La Trinidad since it was the establishment that delivered the items to the center.

She also said a delivery receipt bearing no name of the shipper was addressed to the center.

RSCC staff however found a short note inside the package and read: “Kindly accept this gift for the children there at the center. May it bring them joy and happiness to the unfortunate state of their lives. I hope this would be useful.”

Department of Social Works and Development workers revealed the equipment was valued at P16, 440.

Meanwhile regional DSWD director Porfiria Bernardez said, a number of anonymous donations are received by the regional agency each year.

The director said such donations are properly accounted for. Bernardez and Ms. De Guzman expressed gratitude to the unidentified donor on the children’s behalf.

The center head said the equipment will be used for educational and recreational activities of the children.

RSCC is transitional home which provides physical care and protection to street children and those in especially difficult circumstances. It presently caters to 27 children.
