Fifty children in Purok Karachi University Site, Brgy. Ibabang Dupay, Lucena City, received holiday treats from the Office of Student Affairs and Services in coordination with the Interim University Collegiate Student Council and Student Organization last December 22, 2021.
“Gift-giving is an annual outreach program. Primarily, this program wants to continue and live the significant spirit of Christmas, which is to share its resources with the less fortunate. Specifically, the program aims to build an important civic engagement between the community and educational institutions.” said Dexter Hermidilla, UCSC President.
The program is done through the utilized resources from the Office of Student Affairs and Services (OSAS), Student Organizations, and the Interim UCSC.
During the previous semester, the Interim UCSC conducted its significant activities. They started with disseminating the COVID Safety Kit for the chosen College of Nursing and Allied Health (CNAHS) students conducting limited face-to-face classes.
The Interim UCSC also established the distribution of the Load Assistance Program to students struggling with their data connectivity.
The OSAS, Student Organizations, and the Interim UCSC chose the Purok Karachi for their annual outreach program since they are close to the University’s heart; they were always the chosen Purok to receive simple packages.
The organizations turned over the said gifts to Purok Leader David Panaragin last December 22, 2021.
