Photo from RMN Tacloban on Facebook Philippine Army Engineers built a mini children's library in Allen, Northern Samar to promote reading for local children, the Aklatang Pambata ng Kawal Inhenyero (Army Engineers Children’s Library). The library is located in the Philippine Army's 543rd Engineer Construction Battalion camp.

This is how the library was created." Books for a Cause donated the books for the library. The army engineers al...
