LINGKOD: BAYANIHAN sa Mapaang
NSTPโLTS Community Outreach and Environmental Care Program
The NDC Tagum Foundation Inc, Inc. through its National Service Training Program โ Literacy Training Service (NSTPโLTS), successfully conducted LINGKOD: BAYANIHAN on January 29 at Barangay Mapaang, Municipality of Maco, bringing together education, service, and environmental responsibility in one meaningful community engagement.
The activity was made possible through the full support of the school administration of NDC Tagum, the NSTP Office, and the active participation of NSTP Officers and first-year NSTPโLTS students, who served as volunteers, facilitators, and youth advocates throughout the program.
Strong institutional support was also extended by Sir Joebert Dilag, Head of the Office of Student Affairs (OSA), and Maโam Crizdi Mae Abrenica, whose guidance and encouragement contributed to the successful implementation of the outreach initiative.
The program was conducted in close coordination with the Barangay Government of Mapaang, led by the Punong Barangay, together with the SK Chairperson and SK Council, and with the presence and support of Maโam Agnes Laput, NSTP Adviser. The activity also received the backing of the Municipal Government of Maco, under the leadership of Hon. Arthur Carlos Voltaire R. Rimando, Municipal Mayor, reaffirming the LGUโs commitment to youth development and community empowerment.
Key activities included day care learning sessions, interactive games for children, distribution of school supplies, and a community clean-up drive, all made possible through the generosity of partner sponsors and supporters, whose contributions both in cash and in kind greatly benefited the 28 child beneficiaries of the program.
LINGKOD: BAYANIHAN stands as a testament to the power of collaboration between educational institutions, local government units, and community partners in nurturing children, empowering communities, and protecting the environment.
