Goducate Training Center in Iloilio, The Philippines, continues being developed even as its pioneer batch of trainees undergo training.
As soon as the basic infrastructure (Phase 1A) was completed in April 2011, the pioneer batch of trainees began their training.
Since then, work has been going on on students’ dormitories and staff quarters. The target date for completion of these projects was this month. However, unusually heavy rains hampered construction work over the past 2 months and caused erosion problems in our impounding pond and some slopes around the site.
The typhoon season continues to bring in much rain, but we hope that the dormitories and staff house will be completed in 2 months’ time. After the rainy season is over, the main roads will be concreted.
We hope to be ready to take in a larger batch of about 50 students in 2012 and train them to help the poor to help themselves
