DigiPlus Foundation continues to champion inclusive learning by empowering young learners in Aurora Province through a meaningful partnership with youth-led volunteer group Sikat Aurora.
Following six months of sustained support for Sikat Aurora’s Abot Ko ang Libro storytelling initiative, an activity that brings reading sessions and learning spaces closer to children in local communities, DigiPlus Foundation and GameZone surprised the group with a new mobile library designed to support their mission beyond a single location. The mobile library will allow Sikat Aurora volunteers to roam across Aurora Province, reaching more children with books, learning materials, and storytelling activities.
The donation strengthens Sikat Aurora’s efforts to uplift nonformal education as a vital complement to classroom learning, especially for children with limited access to books and educational resources. By taking learning on the road, the mobile library transforms storytelling sessions into a scalable, sustainable program that can reach far-flung communities across the province.
RJ Belen, Founder of Sikat Aurora, expressed deep gratitude for the continued support from DigiPlus Foundation.
“We are truly grateful for the trust and support of DigiPlus Foundation. This mobile library will help us reach more young learners in Aurora and strengthen our mission of nurturing a love for reading. Through nonformal education, we help support what children learn in school and create spaces where learning feels accessible, enjoyable, and empowering.”
He added that the mobile library represents more than just books, it represents opportunity.
“This will allow us to bring learning to children who may not always have access to educational materials, helping them build confidence and curiosity as they grow.”
More than 100 new storytelling books were added to the mobile library, expanding access to reading materials for young learners.
From the Foundation’s perspective, the initiative aligns with its broader goal of inclusive education. Neil Orillaneda, Program Manager for Technology Education of DigiPlus Foundation, emphasized the importance of ensuring that learning opportunities reach every child.
“Our goal is simple: no learner left behind. By supporting initiatives like Sikat Aurora’s mobile library, we help bridge learning gaps and ensure that children, regardless of location or circumstance, have access to educational resources that support their growth.”
The mobile library donation reflects DigiPlus Foundation’s belief that learning happens not only inside classrooms, but also within communities through shared stories, accessible resources, and partnerships that place children at the center of development.
DigiPlus employees volunteered their time and joined storytelling activities, engaging directly with children during the mobile library program.
The mobile library donation is part of a Php 1-million contribution from GameZone during the International Series Philippines (ISP), channeled through DigiPlus Foundation to support a range of community initiatives nationwide. Beyond education, the donation also funds livelihood support for local weavers, health program assistance for the LGBTQ+ community, aid for persons with disabilities in Cebu, and flood rescue equipment for Manila, reflecting a holistic approach to community development that addresses education, health, inclusion, and disaster preparedness.
As Sikat Aurora continues its journey across Aurora Province, DigiPlus Foundation remains committed to supporting initiatives that nurture curiosity, literacy, and lifelong learning among Filipino youth.
