Project Baon, A Day Of Volunteer Service  

History:  

Project Baon, one of Aral Pinoy’s longest-running and flagship projects, was launched in 2011 with a noble mission: to offer educational support to underprivileged children, ensuring they can successfully complete high school and college. In its inaugural phase, the project extended a vital lifeline to students by granting them monthly financial assistance throughout their college years. Every school year, this initiative carefully selects ten deserving students from our partner communities, ensuring they receive the necessary financial support to pursue their education.

What:  

Our commitment to education through Project Baon has left a lasting impact on our history. Today, we're building on that legacy. Inspired by the belief that impactful Volunteer Service requires a coordinated effort, Project Baon continues to gather volunteers, creating a positive impact in just one day. 

Embark on a journey of selflessness and compassion, unleashing the power of kindness and generosity. Whether you're lending a helping hand to those in need or spreading love through community service, our Volunteer Service is the perfect platform to give back and make a difference.
