CASBAA partners with Plan International

According to the Philippine government's data, Masbate ranks second to last in the Bicol region of the country on school achievement. CASBAA will support a series of campaigns developed by Plan International, including "Supervised Neighbourhood Play" and "Enhancing Learning Competence and Life Skills" to give these children the chance to learn and grow.

"We are very pleased to partner with Plan International. Children represent the future and giving them access to education and nutrition should be of prime concern to all," said Simon Twiston Davies, CEO of CASBAA.

CASBAA is committed to unlock the poverty traps of 5,657 children in Masbate by raising over US$75,000 through auctions, donations and raffle sales at the annual CASBAA Charity Ball, at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Hong Kong, on October 28th, sponsored by Turner (Presenting Sponsor) and MGM Channel (Bar Sponsor).

"The partnership between CASBAA and Plan International will help more children in Masbate to equip for growth, and empower them to build a better future for themselves and for the whole community", said James Murray, CEO, Plan International Hong Kong.
