Ronald McDonald House of Charities Awards Filipino Educator

RMHC honors Filipino educator Dr. Elvira Directo with a Give A Hand Award during the World Children's Day (WCD) held in the Ronald McDonald House in New York City. The RMHC Chapter in Manila together with the Department of Education has implemented Bright Minds Read (BMR) education program, currently on its fifth year in 14 municipalities of the National capital Region in Manila. With Dr. Directo's direction, this program has enabled 511 public school principals and more than 4,000 teachers to adapt the BMR program in all classrooms of the 14 capital cities of Metro Manila. In addition to her extraordinary work as an educator, Dr. Directo's drive as a RMHC volunteer and her professional education skills have made it possible to expand the BMR program outside of the metro area to 20 additional cities, reaching 911 elementary schools in 16 other regions.
