They are committed to providing comprehensive and compassionate support to senior citizens, and charitable works in serving the needy.

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀: Through the generous donations from the CCS faculty and CCS graduate students, we were able to solicit funds amounting to Php 16,600 to donate goods such as adult diapers, tissue rolls, canned goods, soap, and spaghetti bundle.

The initiative also offered a meaningful opportunity to foster joy, connection, and empowerment. The volunteers conducted a short "Digital Literacy Session for Older Adults" to promote inclusion and safety in the digital age especially for the elderly. The active participation sparked discussion on Cybersecurity & the inclusive and responsible adoption of emerging technologies such as digital banking, digital health, and artificial intellignece.
