One of the Lasallian core values is the concern for marginalized sector of the society and it is imperative to all Lasallian students and teachers to express this value into action. Our Level 10 students and teachers participated in this outreach program under Gawad Kalinga (GK). It is a Philippine-based poverty reduction and nation-building movement launched by Couples for Christ (CFC), a Catholic lay community, to care for worse-off Filipinos and survivors of natural disasters.
Lasallian community is very active in the works of teaching values to the poor community and encouraging them to transform their lives and rebuild their houses towards self-sufficiency. This outreach program provides the venue for students and teachers to participate and contribute in promoting the spirit of community among Filipinos. We are one with the goal of the Gawad Kalinga in their ambitious motto of “No more slums, no more violence, no more poverty” in our own country.
The outreach is spearheaded by the Community and Involvement Office under the leadership of Mrs. Vio Ramirez, the former principal of the Integrated School, and Mr. Arnel Dimaano.
Animo La Salle!
