On 9 and 23 November 2024, UP Tacloban’s Ugnayan ng Pahinungód conducted specialized literacy enhancement activities for Mamanwa community members with reading difficulties and children aged 6-10 in Brgy. Guirang, Basey, Samar.
Twenty-five out-of-school youth and adults participated in sessions led by Pahinungod student volunteers focusing on alphabet familiarization, tracing exercises, and practicing filling out basic forms, such as applications for a PSA birth certificate. Mamanwa children engaged in group reading sessions and interactive activities like flashcard recognition games, storytelling, and coloring exercises.
