SAMELCO II.

SAMELCO II supports the
development of the quality of life of Samarnons through education,

audio-visual devices such as television and DVD players to complement
their conventional teaching methods.
Tan expressed her gratitude

140 students.
She said that with the
availability of electricity in their school, teachers can now turn on
fluorescent lamps to improve the lighting condition of their
classrooms.
