INTRODUCTION
“ There are about 1.5 million street children in
the Philippines. “
INTRODUCTION
“The STREET CHILDREN”
Are there solutions for these?
Answer: YES
A lot of ways can help lessen and
prevent these situations.
It is in ACTION that we will accomplish
something!
INTRODUCTION
“The youth is the hope of our country”. But
the fact is, many of the Filipino youths are
not on the right track. Many of them are
neglected, abandoned and unfortunate to
having not so good families (broken, poor,
etc).
INTRODUCTION
To address one of these social
issues/problems......
One possible solution is providing and extending
social services of higher education institution to
the community especially to undeserved and
underpriviledged individuals, the CHILDREN.
INTRODUCTION
And here is the way we believe, we way we will be
connected with the world, the best way we could be
of service to the people in the community, and the
way to prepare our students in the realities of life,
the life outside the four corners of the classroom.
