Computer Laboratory and Other Facilities (Updated)

Our charity has 4 desktops, one inkjet printer, internet 5mbps connection and landline serving children and youth within Bato, Leyte and neighboring towns Matalom and Hilongos. The venue is actually our house because as of now I cannot afford to rent a separate space to hold the computers and other equipment. Although our equipment is not enough to serve more children and youth, the use is being maximized to accommodate increasing number of beneficiaries of charity projects. Everything is made free. Training, internet access, printing of outputs are made free so that our learners will concentrate on their work in the laboratory. They don't need to mind about financial obligation because it is our vision to give best computer education for free. Any donation big or small is highly appreciated. What matter most is your desire to uplift the life of every less fortunate people in the community. Some of our desktops in the laboratory were donated by friends who have kind heart to push our charity project forward.

Project Site and Initial Implementation

Project Site

The Free Computer Literacy To Poor Children charity project is officially located at Jose Rizal Street barangay Tinago, Bato, Leyte Philippines. Training venue is temporarily held in the convenor's house, the Genes Acenas' residence due to monetary consideration.

Initial Implementation

The project started last June 2015 with only two desktops plus internet connection, and 1 inkjet printer serving initially 10 learners from nearby places. It is modular skills-based training where learners have enough to acquire. The learners have to print their output so their parents can monitor what they have achieved after every session. The output will be uploaded to social media site for others to see. Our learners have free internet access so they can chat, email, search without headache. Focus learning is observed, no outsiders are allowed to enter the center to avoid distractions. It is collaborative in nature wherein learners teach other, so learning in our charity is sharing of knowledge among children. Each learner is provided with one computer or desktop to work with their exercises. As of this writing Ponong Elementary School, barangay Ponong, Bato, Leyte is the current pilot area for project implementation. Little by little we are also opening our door to others giving few slots to children in other barangays namely Tinago, Anhawan, Cebuana, Combado, Dolho, Guerero and to barangays of neighboring towns such as brgy. Zaragosa of Matalom and bgry. Tugepa of Hilongos, Leyte. Our charity is expanding to youth and elderly in the community who want to look for brighter future.

The Foundation and Humble Beginning of the Charity Project

FREE COMPUTER LITERACY TO POOR CHILDREN : Its Foundation and Humble Beginning
The idea came from my long time desire to share the knowledge I have accumulated for many years. It is in my blood to help the poor although my pocket cannot afford. I have many students and friends who know my sincerity to help the project by providing financial backing in small wholehearted way. I started with a pc and our house is use as training venue. Many children got interested to learn for it's totally free, modular in scope, skill-based training, and learners are given free internet access to upload their works to social media. I focus on skills training vital for growth and sustainability of individual and I don't follow traditional way of teaching to make the learning outcomes at high.
I name this charity in a simplest way so that people directly understand the purpose, the target group of individuals, and its vision. I made things less complicated. Everything is designed as easy as possible. No requirements needed. I asked nothing from the parents and kids. The only requirement is their presence and desire to learn. As to the name I made research in the internet some charity with regards to computer education. There are many titles I found eventually I decided to name it "FREE COMPUTER LITERACY TO POOR CHILDREN". Dedication, vision, purpose guided me in naming the project. By convention the title is short, striking and meaningful. As always God is there to help me. He knows you, your desire, your vision. Nothing is hidden from Him. Some projects failed because God wants it to fail. Failures means hope and God use your failures to make you succeed. Hardships, frustrations mold my character to do pursue a project like this. This did not happen by chance, God prepared me for many years. What I've done is exactly God's plan. I follow the path he laid out in my life. Many may misunderstand my actions but If you are enlightened with the Holy Spirit you never questioned it anymore.  I always put it in my mind "Everything happens with a certain purpose and it happen at exact time. God works in mysterious ways. He is perfect and he is always on time." Do what your heart desire, Every word of God is planted in inside your heart. Don't hesitate to do good whether acceptable or not to human standard. Charity knows no color, it is pure because it's come from God.

My original plan is to focus only to one barangay specifically Brgy. Ponong of Municipality of Bato, Leyte as project implementation area. But due to growing demand so I decided to extend my services to other people from neighboring places. As time went by many have reacted and got interested to my project. The number of recipients grows bigger and bigger. Many parents see the benefits the project gave to the community in long term basis. The continuity of the operation depends on many factors. Number is one financial. Second is equipment. Third is commitment. But the most important one is my commitment to manage the project. I am poor and there are few desktops presently used in many of months of training. The project continues to serve its primary purpose. With some donation from friends project continue until today.

My missionary work grows and now include Feeding Mission Project, Youth Development and Poverty Reduction Projects, Clean Up Drive. I know the need of the community and our charity has made much contributions to youth development, thus reducing the number of youths just wandering in the community without direction.

My house is a charity, research, child formation center in the municipality of Bato, Leyte. I love to mold children into more responsible, educated person. I offer livelihood training program to the youth who wants to start his own business. Some youths have already acquired this livelihood training program and have started their own personal services and they also volunteer in the charity to teach other children.

My charity project is a family endeavor to edcuate the less fortunate children. My wife and kids help in teaching and guiding the children to do their works. Assisting them whenever there is problem, providing the necessary information how to solve a certain unknown situation.

My educational charity project prepares the learners for work, college life, personal business ventures. Equipped with necessary skills the learners are ready to face new challenges.

I teach my students with no fear and no limits, in area of education where knowledge is useful to make their life sustainable and prosperous.

My family is not financially-blessed but we tried our best to serve the poor children in Bato, Leyte in particular and whole country in general.

Good intention is lasting.

The free computer literacy program aims to educate the less fortunate children who offers themselves to learn especially this time that technology is in demand. We as the convenor also aims to give them the best for last. Lasting because from the start of their studies until they will become professional they make themselves expert in everything that they learn during their studies not in school but in our program. This program aims a little individual to become knowledgeable to expert level. This start when the convenor loves to share his knowledge in the way of offering this for free. Education really is expensive but at this time education is free because of love that prevails on the heart of the person handling it. No grudges, no salary, nothing in return is expected but the love of the people whom he don't expect also reveals the realization of his dream to come true until this time.
