Volunteer Event
Thank you so much for Pfizer's generous offer to be the exclusive sponsor for this “Project Baon, A Day of Volunteer Service.”
Holy Family Parish-BEC Outreach to Elementary Kids: A Project Baon Day of Volunteer Service Initiative
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. (http://www.aralpinoy.org/)
The Holy Family Parish-BEC Outreach, in collaboration with Project Baon, extends educational support to underprivileged elementary students. Since 2011, Project Baon has helped children from low-income communities pursue their academic goals by offering financial and educational support. This outreach seeks to empower young learners by building essential skills in reading, writing, and math, paving the way for their academic and personal growth.
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. Don't wait; join us on this unforgettable journey.
