“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.

” – Helen Keller

Education is not the sole responsibility of the school as it takes the whole village to
educate a child. It is through partnerships that responsibilities are shared and divided.
We are one with the shared vision of creating an educational landscape that promotes
education “para sa bata, para sa bayan.”

On behalf of Anibongan National High School, I would like to commend the sterling and
unwavering support of our stakeholders and partner agencies, to mention: Hon.
Prospero “Butch” A. Pichay, Congressman of the First District of the Province of Surigao

True enough that through concerted efforts and collaboration, the dreams become
realities; hopes become vision. Rest assured my dear partners and stakeholders that
these endowments will be utilized for the maximum benefit of the learners, the teachers,
and the entire community.

I implore that our parents and stakeholders in the community would take advantage of
these endowments by supporting our children’s education. Through this partnership, let
us create a space that is conducive to learners’ growth and development. Also, your
contributions to the communities have uplifted people’s lives.

In return, we, in Anibongan National High School commit to provide quality education so
our learners will become productive members of our communities where businesses
thrive, families co-exist, and communities flourish in peace and prosperity.

It is with fervent hope, therefore, that this commitment to our partnership will continue to
be strong so that, as one, we can achieve our goal of giving quality education – one that
can be a potent weapon against many forms of poverty: emotional, intellectual, moral,
and economic.

As St. Teresa of Calcutta said, “None of us, including me, ever do great things. But we
can all do small things, with great love, and together we can do something wonderful.”
