BTLEd, BTVTEd, MATLE programs hold skills training
The College of Teacher Education’s BTLEd, BTVTEd, and MATLE programs recently conducted a skills development training in Candon City aimed at reducing poverty by equipping community members with sustainable income-generating skills. In partnership with local government units and the Gawad Kalinga Foundation, the training focused on meal and nutrition planning, specifically snack production skills like buchi and churros making. Guided by field experts, participants learned practical skills in recipe creation, food safety, and quality control, empowering them to start small businesses and enhance their livelihoods. This initiative supports SDG 1 by providing community members with valuable, marketable skills to improve economic stability and well-being.
Gift Giving: Share the Love
On December 18, 2023, the Agrimensores Club of the University of Northern Philippines organized a Christmas outreach program, “Gift Giving: Share the Love,” in San Julian, Bantay, with the goal of spreading the true spirit of Christmas through acts of kindness and addressing poverty in the community, in alignment with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 1: No Poverty. The event, attended by club officers and members, was grounded in the belief that “giving is better than receiving,” and sought to provide tangible support to families facing economic hardship. Thanks to the financial contributions of BSGE students, the program successfully distributed gifts and essentials, alleviating some of the burdens felt by the community during the holiday season. The joy and gratitude expressed by the recipients highlighted the program’s impact in creating positive change, reinforcing the idea that collective efforts in addressing poverty can uplift lives and bring hope. This initiative serves as a reminder that even small acts of giving, when done together, can contribute significantly to reducing poverty and building a more inclusive society.
