Josefa Llanes Escoda Elementary School

Josefa Llanes Escoda Elementary School located at F. Rodriguez St., Gem Village, Maa, Davao City has been experiencing flood problems causing distraction of classes especially during the rainy season.

Upon the ocular inspection of the area, the City Engineer’s Office recommended to elevate the grounds with 150 truckloads of landfill.

As the chairperson of the Committee on Education, Science and Technology, Arts and Culture, Maria Belen S. Acosta together with the school principal, Cecilia Cardoza distributed letters last November 13, 2013 requesting for any donations that may be used for the Ground Elevation Joint Community Project.

As of July 31, 2014, 75% of the area is already covered with landfill.

Among the donors/sponsors were:

Sponsor/Donor	Amount
Gem Village	4 cu. m
Forest Lake	10 cu. m
Lostrim Construction	15 cu.m
Hon. Mabel Sunga Acosta	17 cu. m

               

As of August 2015, the land filling activity was already done and some construction are being conducted. Thank you very much for the sponsors and donors for responding to the call of helping our schools and giving our students a more conducive place to learn. 

Hope this is only the beginning of our long term partnership!
