These wonderfully colorful pictures bring such joy to us. We thank our friends from Sagip Iligan, the Special Operations of MSU-IIT High School Batch of 2000 in Iligan City, Philippines for celebrating World Read Aloud Day with us!

What made this edition really special was the kids' enthusiasm to stay and participate even if their classes were already finished for the day, as narrated by our Sagip Iligan friends. This is made even more significant by the fact that most of them, about 80% of the school's population, were greatly affected by Typhoon Sendong (International Name: Washi) in December 2011. We honor the resilience and spirit hope in the Iligan City community.

Thank you Sagip Iligan!
