CAPAS, TARLAC. Some 125 students from the Manabayukan Elementary School will now be able to study better and longer at night after having each received a solar lamp from the state-owned Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA).
The Aeta Manabayukan Village where the children live has no electricity—it is an off-grid community. The children use kerosene lamps to read at night making it difficult to study.
