The book donation, just like the summer arts camp, is part of the many corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives of the Rapu-Rapu Polymetallic Project (RRPP), largest copper-zinc mine in the province of Albay.

            On March 6, this year, RRPP launched Yudi Man at Rapu-Rapu Central Elementary School and Carogcog Elementary School and introduced the art of storytelling to promote love for reading books among schoolchildren.

            Both Gipaw (arts camp) and Yudi Man (art of storytelling) are CSR activities conducted jointly with the NCCA and DepEd through the Community Development Assistance Program (CDAP) of RRPP.

            Also in April this year, CDAP initiated the conduct of Kurit Lagting, a visual and graphic arts workshop, at the Sorsogon National High School, a follow-through of the province-wide campus journalism training for high school students in the province of Sorsogon that RRPP also supported in December last year.

            Aside from this, the mine project extends REACH scholarships and distributes free school supplies to deserving Rapu-Rapu elementary, high school and college students every school year, also through CDAP.
