History:  

The ARAL PINOY Sulok Aralan Computer Literacy Project, in collaboration with Teacher Johan and Kuya Raul from the Child and Youth Development initiative at GK Hiyas, Manila, aims to empower students from Barangay 815, Zone 88, Manila. The project is designed to enhance digital literacy, starting with a basic Microsoft Excel training to help students develop valuable skills for education and future employment. With the support of Barangay 815’s Chairman, Ronaldo Navarro, this initiative is part of a broader effort to extend educational support beyond the community. The project officially begins on January 5, 2025, and we are excited to kickstart this important step toward a brighter future.  (http://www.aralpinoy.org/)
