During the restrictions resulting from the Covid -19 pandemic, Goducate Laguna created an online platform called “GoDeeds Talk” to feature how people or organisations help others. These talks, which began about three months ago, have been held weekly. Specialists are invited to speak on the topic. For instance, the leader of the Breast Milk Donation group came to speak on breast-milk donation.
The talk on August 20, 2020 featured BolunTurismoPH, a non-governmental organization that envisions a world where children are achieving their rights to education and that promotes compassion and volunteerism among children of “Mangyan tribes” in Mindoro Philippines. Because of the pandemic, BolunTurismoPH and UP (University of the Philippines) Eagles Alumni purchased two 3D printers. These printers were used to provide over 5000 face-shields to our frontliners from March 28-31. The face-shield project was spearheaded by the Laguna Patriots Team.
On Aug 25, five days after the GoDeeds Talk, BolunTurismoPH Founder and UP Eagles Alumna, Miss Abby Pabro, officially presented one of the 3D printers to Goducate Laguna. This will serve as an income-generating item for Goducate Laguna. We thank BolunTurismoPH and UP Eagles Alumni for this gift.
