Access to education doesn’t always begin in a classroom. Sometimes, it begins with a single book placed in the right hands.
The LIBRO Project—Learning Initiatives through Books for Reading Opportunities—is Global Shapers Cebu’s commitment to making reading materials more accessible to communities and young learners who need them most. What started as an initiative to make reading more accessible grew into an art and reading session for children whose daily lives were altered by the natural calamities that struck Cebu in November.
In 2025, LIBRO reached communities through three meaningful legs:
📍 May 2025 – SOS Children’s Village, Talamban, Cebu
📍 December 2025 – Barangay Calamba, Cebu
📍 December 2025 – Rise Above Foundation, Guadalupe, Cebu
This initiative would not have been possible without the generosity, trust, and collaboration of our partners. Our sincere thanks to Quintin Pastrana and the Library Renewal Partnership, ACT Community Extension Services Office, and Rise Above Foundation for standing with us in creating safe and meaningful learning spaces for children.
Beyond book distribution, LIBRO represents shared responsibility—where youth leadership, collaboration, and local action come together to support education in tangible ways.
Grateful to everyone who supported, donated, volunteered, and believed in this initiative. We’re reminded that real impact doesn’t always have to be loud—it can start quietly, one page at a time 📖✨
