HTA
Past Pupils' Solidarity Project
Objective:
Putting up of a project which the Past Pupils of HTA could consider
their own for the pooling of their time, talents and resources while at
the same time helping the less fortunate among the young.
Venue:
Proposed venue is the Farm School of the Salesian Sisters in Parang
Calapan Mindoro Oriental
Situationer:
Our Salesian Sisters have put up a "Farm School" in Parang, Calapan,
Mindoro for the poor out-of-school youth. It is a non-formal school
that caters to young people already trying to eke out a living by
fishing or farming. Their students include some youth from the Mangyans
- an ethnic tribal group in Mindoro. To save time, effort and money,
majority of the students live in the school, nourished by whatever is
available. The condition of both the students and the Sisters
themselves is very poor and difficult. Since the apostolate is only on
its second year, so much is yet to be done. Funds are needed for:
buildings, infrastructure, equipments, technological assistance and
even for the simple day to day existence of both the students and the
Sisters. Some assistance come from the private and corporate donors but
the need is still great. The Past-pupils can hopefully find ways and
means to share this mission of the Salesian Sisters among the poor of
Mindoro.
Methodology:
1. Identify interested past pupils
2. Getting to know the place - a core group of the Past Pupils will
visit the site at a convinient time to assess the situation and define
possible interventions
3. Preparing a project plan - possible interventions will be laid out
in a project proposal to be presented to the rest of the
interested Past-pupils
4. Raising funds - interested past-pupils will be asked to concretise
their sense of solidarity by an amount to be fixed which shall be
termed "Solidarity Share". They can also solicit funds from friends,
office mates and relatives.
5. Defining ways of participation in the project - interested
past-pupils could be part of the solidarity project by
-
Consultative/Technical participation
-
Personal involvement and presence in the project
- Financial
support of the project through the "Solidarity Share"
6. Actualization and management of the solidarity project - Past Pupils
who choose to be personally involved will actualize and manage the
project at the time defined in the project proposal making of the funds
raised from interested past-pupils.
7. Evaluation of the project - periodic evaluation of the project will
be done and a report will be issued to the past-pupils concerned. The
report will also include a financial statement to account for the
solidarity share of the proponents.
