Schoolboy gives away pencils to graders who have none

PENCILS. The 14-year-old son of a school-teacher did a good turn to first graders in the public school where his mother teaches. He received a cash birthday gift from his grandfather, a medical doctor. What did he do with the cash gift? He bought hundreds of pencils with it. And these pencils he handed to grade one pupils most of whom are children of poor families.

TOUCHED. The boy told an Ear informer that he was touched when he heard her mother tell a story about some school kids who would break a whole pencil into two, the other half they would give to their siblings. Nobody told the boy to do what he did. “Iya ra gyung ideya ang iyang pagpanghatag og lapis sa mga batang wa’y lapis,” the mother said proudly.
