On May 24, 2011, Children’s Hour affirms its support to helping the “Bayanihang Pampaaralan” project after a memorandum of agreement signing during the Management Association of the Philippines (MAP) General Membership Meeting that appointed Children’s Hour as the official workplace fundraiser for the said endeavor. Children’s Hour urged MAP-member corporations and organizations to help build the 10,000 classrooms in the next two years through the combined efforts of corporate donation and employee contributions.

Bayanihang Pampaaralan is an initiative under the 57-75 Movement which aims to consolidate classroom building efforts and direct them to areas that need the most assistance. Bayanihang Pampaaralan provides individuals the avenue to share resources through grants and donations that will be used in building classrooms.
