When a new literacy center was started at Ulik, Mabacan, in Laguna Province, in June 2012, it consisted of little more than tarpaulin strung over a few poles. It was a branch of another Goducate literacy center in Mabacan that was opened in 2011.
In October 2012, construction work began on a more permanent building. The building has now been completed. During the construction period, the students attended classes at another Goducate literacy center. The center is headed by a Goducate worker, aided by a volunteer mother, and is currently attended by 9 nursery-school students.
The plan is to use the center for other other classes as well, such as tutorials for older children, or music classes. As with other Goducate centers, the aim is to help children in the community develop a passion for learning.
