Description
The University of Rizal System in its desire of assisting the community performs the extension function to provide services to undeserved and underprivileged individuals. Such provision ensures the upliftment of the quality of life of the above-cited sector towards productivity and self-reliance.
The project “Gabay Ko… Abot-Kamay Mo” as an extension service of the College of Science, University of Rizal System_Morong, caters the orphans housed at Felicisimo-Aurora Bahay-Kalinga, Inc. (FABKI). Its main focus is to provide guidance services for their emotional, social, moral and psychological stability which will help them cope and overcome the situations confronting them. The need for giving attention to the whole individual, his development and adjustments must be prioritized.
The orphans in the institution come from broken families, very poor families, street children, stow-away children, and/or those children who are brought by their relatives who cannot afford to provide their material and non-material needs.
The project is a version of service learning that enhances learning beyond the classroom. It helps to foster a sense of caring for others through direct involvement of academe (faculty and students) to the children in the institution. It also serves as a bridge of connecting to the people towards their success in the future.
The project emphasizes the promotion of efficient and happy lives of individuals by helping them to adjust to social realities. The activities are conducted through the help of guidance and counseling faculty and students who serve as facilitators, trained, given exposure and are being prepared to handle problems and adjustments of individuals.
Sustainability of the project is realized through relevant and responsive activities crafted collaboratively and cooperatively by the proponent and the members of the project.
Activities include, Knowing Each Other; Tutoring and Follow-up; Academic Enhancement, Talent and Skills Development; Counseling Sessions; Values Reorientation and Socialization activities.
Moreover, the program reinforces what the beneficiaries have learned from formal schooling.
A structured evaluation is conducted in order to determine the strength and areas needing improvement of the program. It also seeks feedback from the administration of the institution as basis for the enrichment of the activities provided to the clientele.
