These materials are being donated by AFTA members and their friends or are acquired through fundraising activities. Other basic school children’s needs such as slippers and book bags are distributed to the children of these identified “adopted” school during summer when the AFTA teachers and volunteers conduct their BALIKTURO Project in the Philippines.
Adopt a Scholar (2014)
AFTA awards scholarships by providing full tuition and miscellaneous fees to less fortunate, especially members of indigenous tribes or communities and potentially capable students to become future educators enrolled in state colleges and universities in the Philippines. AFTA accepts qualified and reputable donors to sponsor its scholarship program aside from its fundraising.
