SIMPLE ACT OF KINDNESS
Education has been and will always be an integral part of an individual’s life as it is one
the primarily responsible for the process of acquiring the necessary knowledge, skills, and
values. Needless to say, it also affects how the society functions as the former is being run by
the people themselves. Hence, with education, the human race has been able to develop various
technologies and discover life-changing ideologies.
Unfortunately, it is not as easy as we think it is. Currently, the majority of the Philippine
population has been deprived of access to quality education, primarily due to widespread
occurrence of poverty. They are not able to buy the needed materials for school (e.g. pencils,
pens, notebooks, books, paper, and the like) making them not able to maximize learning. Also,
some also are not able to enroll at all.
The said premise is what we think the main reason a lot of Filipinos are not able to finish
schooling. Even after the period where they devote their time to work, they are not anymore able
to go back to school. However, fortunately, some are able to through the Alternative Learning
System (ALS) program. This program aims to aid those who are not able to finish the basic
education curriculum through a special setup wherein they are promulgated with the needed
knowledge and skills for basic education graduation. Of course, again, not everyone is able to
buy the needed school supplies for such.
As someone who is currently living a life who may be a dream to others, it is my (our)
duty to lend a hand to them. With this, our group has came up with the idea to donate some
school supplies to the volunteering program of the Lasallian Scholars’ Society (LSS). According
to one of their project heads:
“Through the proposed volunteering activity, we would be able to share our knowledge
and resources as we assist in the implementation of the Alternative Learning System
(ALS) Program at DLSU ALS Center. Additionally, we would be able to aid in the learning
development of the students, empowering them to develop the necessary skills and
competencies for career progression. Hopefully, the conduct of the proposed activity
would help shed light on the critical issue on the lack of education in our nearby
communities and ultimately in the society at large”
We believe that through our small act of kindness, we are able to somehow alleviate the
difficulty one or more students may have in their schooling. Although this may be something
small, we consider this act as a stepping stone for us in achieving our life-long mission as God’s
children - that is to help our brothers and sisters in Christ in their times of need.
