Dear GFI,

Landan National High School is so blessed to have you as our partner in educating our learners and in developing their academic potentials.

The school was challenged to build a library due the many books that you have given us. In fact Ninety percent (90%) of the books in our library comes from you. These books were used by our students in reading and in Science research. Our Math specialist in school was able to publish a Mathematics Workbooks for first year, second year, third year and fourth year students which are being used not only in our school but all over the country.

It is also expected that the school’s rating in the National Achievement Test for students will increase with the reference materials that we have received from your organization.

We have also availed the bulk of crayons and pencils you have sent last August 2009. Our students in Art have used those materials during their interactive drawing sessions. The Boys Scouts and Girls Scouts of both the Elementary and Secondary Departments have used them in their “Art Attack” Sessions. We find all the materials you have sent very useful.

With these, we would like to express our deepest gratitude for the help you have extended to our school.

Maraming maraming salamat sa inyo!!!


Very truly yours,
