This is the first toy library of its kind provided by Esso and EMEPKI in conjunction with the PDA.

Esso, EMEPKI, and their Employees Club coordinated with the PDA to provide toys and educational kits for schools in remote areas under the “Village Toy Library” program. Each school will assign a committee comprising of students between 8 and 14 years of age to manage the Village Toy Library.  In return for community services such as plant cultivation or helping with school maintenance activities, students may borrow toys from the village toy library. The students’ activities are recorded and acknowledged by their parents in a “Good deeds I did today” booklet.
