Educational Support
A typical rural Filipino family’s capability to provide education for
their children depends largely on the meager income of their parents, whether
from farming or fishing.
Our Educational Assistance Program which started in 2001 is a financial
assistance to financially challenged but deserving children with the hopes
of alleviating their condition in their pursuit for a basic education.
Financial assistance is initially for a year in cognizance of their character,
attitude towards education, values and needs, appropriate for the daily
attendance of classes of qualified students. Children will be annually
reassessed in their eligibility based on their performance and school records.
Currently we're extending the assistance to 82 kids, including 6
college students.
Within the scope of this program, LOOB also offers the
School Feeding and Nutrition Education for the pupils of Manduriao elementary
school, as well as the Weekend Educational Activity which is open to all
children and youths in Calajunan, Mandurriao and Namocon Tigbauan.
We
only accept the applications for this program through the recommendation of our
appropriate partners.

Kids English Activity
The Weekend English activity is held every Saturdays and it aims at developing
children’s ability to express their feelings and thoughts in English.
LOOB sets this activity as mandatory for sponsor kids but we accept non-sponsor
kids as well. Depending on the season, we hold the Kids’ Camp and observation
tour in town. We are always welcome your creative ideas to keep this activity
interesting and fun!
1. Tigbauan (Namocon village)
We started this activity in 2006 and in accordance with kids’ interests, we have set several themes. In 2008, our theme was “Get to know other countries” and had lectures about more than 10 countries. Since May 2009, we changed theme as “Philippine’s Folk Tale” and since October, the theme had been “Expressing feelings through Art.” The current number of the sponsor kids is 11, and from 20 to 40 kids join this activity.
2. Smokey Mountain (Calajunan, Osox, Navis)
We started this activity in 2007 and it gives them an opportunity to have fun activities in English and mass feedings. In 2008, this activity was acknowledged in the Alternative Learning System (ALS) by Ministry of Education in Philippines and it is certified as an educational partner with local public school. The current number of the sponsor kids is 45, and the participant of this activity is from 40 to 60 kids.
