CAMPUS TOUR FOR OUR PEARLS HIGH SCHOOL SCHOLARS 2018


We believe that our high school scholars both from Tondo, Manila and Batia, Bulacan had a remarkable summer for this year.

Why we thought of that?

It’s because they had a series of College Campus Tour! It was literally an educational tour for them.

This summer project was an initiative of our After School Program (ASP) team with the aim of inspiring and motivating our scholars to pursue a higher education and get college degrees.

Our scholars went to various universities such as University of Sto. Tomas, Far Eastern University (Tech), University of the Philippines, San Juan De Letran and Mapua University.

 

First Wave of Tour at the University of Sto. Tomas and Far Eastern University (Tech).

The first campus tour happened last May 11, 2018. Our high scholars from Tondo, Manila and Bulacan were all so excited to see and discover what a college campus looks like. Some of our ASP core members and community volunteers accompanied them.

 

At 8 in the morning, the group’s first stop was at the University of Sto. Tomas in Manila.

They first had a short orientation and discussion of history of the said school.

Scholarship offered was also discussed.

 

Then they had a tour around the university and the school’s museum as well.

This tour would not also be possible without the valuable assistance of Prof. Tex Gabo from CSWCD, and Ms. Merselle Montes from Bulwagan ng Dangal.

We are also very grateful to Prof. Toym Imao for giving our scholars an inspiring and eye-opening tour of his exhibit, “Super Robot – Suffer Reboot”.
