At Ninoy Aquino Elementary School in Malabon, teacher Rodelyn G. Lapuz is leading a movement of Generosity that began with a simple but powerful idea. Inspired by her principal, she opened a room near the school gate where parents, students, and others in the community could donate school supplies and food to those in need. To her surprise, many people responded, and this small act of kindness quickly blossomed into something bigger. What started as one room of Generosity sparked a wave across the campus, with other classrooms adopting the same model.
The ripple effect of this Generosity has been transformative. No student at Ninoy Aquino Elementary goes without necessities. What Lapuz began as a single act of giving has become a culture that benefits the entire school community. It shows how one small act can spark an ongoing movement, fostering a caring and supportive environment where no one is left behind.
Teacher Lapuz’s initiative reminds us all that Generosity is contagious. It only takes one person and one action, to create a ripple effect that spreads throughout a community, changing lives and creating lasting impact. At Ninoy Aquino Elementary School, Generosity has become the foundation for a thriving and compassionate learning environment.
Thank you for making a difference Rodelyn Lapuz! We are grateful for all of your hardwork and dedication.
