On April 9, 2011 we held a “soft launch” for Goducate Training Center in Iloilo, Philippines.
About 200 Goducate supporters and friends (including a dozen from Singapore and Australia) joined us for this occasion to celebrate the completion of Phase 1A of GTC’s development. We had had our ground-breaking in June 2010. So we have completed Phase 1A in 10 months of hard, efficient work.
Phase 1A includes all the basic infrastructure of security fencing, land development, road system, irrigation system, basic agricultural and aqua-cultural developments, office and classrooms, simple trainee accommodations, camp-site, and basic revenue-earning activities.
The main event for the soft launch was held in the canteen of the multipurpose hall, and other events were held in the activity field, agricultural area, camp-site, and restaurant.
We will be taking in our “pilot” batch of 20 over trainees at the end of April. They will be trained for about 6 months in the basic skills needed to help poor communities to help themselves.
The future of Goducate depends on its ability to train the right type of workers who will help needy Asians help themselves. Therefore, GTC is a vital part of Goducate’s future!
