The Goducate scholars took part the Brigada Eskwela (Schools Brigade) program in Laguna this year. This program is an annual Philippines Department of Education program, whereby teachers and students as well as the community help to prepare the school for the coming school year, which starts in August. The week-long program is intended to make the school surroundings as well as the classrooms clean and tidy.
Thus on May 30, our Goducate scholars helped to paint the walls of Masaya National High School and clean its yard. For our scholars, the work was a way of expressing their gratitude for their scholarships and a way of contributing to their community.
Goducate scholarships are awarded to university students in the music program in Laguna whose family income falls below the provincial minimum wage rate. The scholarship pays for the university fees. In return the scholar helps with the music program and other Goducate community work.
