100 Backpack Drive 2026 Successfully Delivered:
At GBC Weld Works, we believe success is measured not only by the projects we complete, but also by the impact we create in our communities.
We are proud to share that the 100 Backpack Drive 2026 has been successfully completed, with backpacks and school supply kits distributed to children through our IES community program and selected students from a remote school community in Davao del Sur, Philippines.
Most importantly, these children are now prepared for the June 8 school opening.
For many of us, a backpack, notebook, and school supplies are everyday items. For some families, however, these essentials can be a challenge to provide.
Seeing the excitement and gratitude on the faces of these children was a powerful reminder that even small acts of generosity can create lasting impact.
A backpack may seem simple.
But to a child, it represents preparation, confidence, and the opportunity to start the school year ready to learn.
This initiative began in 2024 with a simple objective: help children access the tools they need for education. Three years later, it continues to grow because of the support of people who believe that investing in young people is investing in the future.
Thank you to everyone who contributed, shared, encouraged, and helped make this year’s drive possible. Together, we are helping create opportunities where they are needed most.
Because every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and pursue their dreams.
