In a special segment of the program, representatives from World Vision presented MR.DIY with the Project Salute Award for its overarching corporate social responsibility program Acts of Kindness (AOK).

Initiated by World Vision in partnership with the Department of Education, Brigada Pagbasa is an after-school reading intervention platform that aims to bring together community partners and education stakeholders to help improve learners’ reading skills in the context of partnerships.
Representatives of World Vision present the Project Salute Award to representatives of MR.DIY for the company’s support for Brigada Pagbasa.
It seeks to address the pressing need for improved reading and literacy skills among schoolchildren, assessing their reading readiness and comprehension levels using the Literacy and Numeracy Diagnostic and Proficiency Assessment Tool (Lit DAPAT).
This comprehensive tool aids literacy facilitators in identifying areas for improvement and crafting targeted interventions to address specific learning needs.
This collaborative effort among MR. DIY, and World Vision’s Brigada Pagbasa serve as a beacon of hope, illustrating the transformative power of community partnerships in building a brighter future for generations to come.
