Dear Mr. Mantala,

Free Training Program for SPUS Students

All over the country, the global pandemic has been hindering the participation of students in
extracurricular activities and impeding their opportunities for a well-rounded education. The
pandemic’s economic impact has also put non-academic elements of student life on the back burner.

It is therefore with great enthusiasm that we present Gen LIT! - an enlightening and engaging
training program on youth leadership and digital citizenship that equips young men and women
with 21st century knowledge and skills in utilizing technology for the common good.

Through the support of our sponsor, Globe Telecom, the program is being offered free-of-charge to
St. Paul University Surigao as our way of providing your students a unique opportunity to develop
leadership potential, hone values, and build life skills.

Pinas Forward is a national movement that seeks to empower Filipinos to dream together for a better
country through the power of connectivity. Since 2018, we have conducted 838 highly successful
training sessions in over 600 schools, organizations, and local government units. Despite the
pandemic, we continue to deliver the program via online platforms like Zoom and Facebook Live.

We are proud that in the first two years of operation, Pinas Forward has produced outstanding young
leaders who have conceptualized and initiated socio-civic projects for individuals and communities
affected by the pandemic or natural disasters that struck the country.

Attached is our project brief giving the details of the program. I will be in touch with you, and can be
reached by Email lala@mvm.ph or Cell 0910 7636296.

We look forward to offering your students a channel for applying their academic skills in the real-
world context of connectivity even in this difficult time.

Sincerely,

GRACIELA E. MANTE
