Unemployment and underemployment continues to increase in The Philippines. Out of 100 children who finish elementary school, only 14 proceed to college. Thus 86 do not have the requirements for a stable job.
High-school graduates in our area tell me that they do not proceed to college because their parents cannot afford to send them there. Hence, although my main responsibility in Goducate is the music project, I thought that I could try to pass on to them whatever basic knowledge I have on electronics, to help them find jobs.
I started the class with 3 students, but by the second session 4 other boys and some fathers joined us. The classes are held in the porch of the home of one of the students. I hope that this little start will help needy students to eventually help themselves.
