In a heartwarming collaboration, the Our Lady of Fatima University Quezon City, College of Computer Studies, and Handog ng Maria Maria joined forces to extend a helping hand to our Dumagat brothers and sisters. The community outreach program was not just an event; it was a shared commitment to make a positive impact on the lives of the Dumagat community.
The initiative kicked off with an enlightening session on basic computer concepts, empowering Dumagat students with essential digital skills. This exchange of knowledge aimed not only to impart technical know-how but also to bridge the digital divide, opening new possibilities for the future.
Beyond the classroom, the spirit of giving flourished. Rice, a staple in every Filipino household, was shared as a symbol of sustenance and unity. Groceries filled with essential items were distributed, ensuring that basic needs were met. Toys brought joy to the young ones, creating smiles that echoed through the Dumagat community.
Recognizing the importance of education, school supplies were provided to equip Dumagat students for their learning journey. Each notebook, pen, and bag was a tangible representation of the collaborative effort to support education in underserved communities.
The outreach program was not just about material donations; it was about building connections and fostering a sense of community. The volunteers from Our Lady of Fatima University and Handog ng Maria Maria worked hand in hand, embodying the spirit of bayanihan.
Through this collaborative outreach, the Dumagat community felt seen, valued, and supported. The impact reached beyond the tangible items shared; it resonated in the shared moments of learning, laughter, and solidarity.
As we reflect on this meaningful endeavor, we are reminded that positive change happens when communities come together. Our Lady of Fatima University Quezon City and Handog ng Maria Maria have set a beautiful example of how, through unity and compassion, we can create a brighter and more hopeful future for all.
