CHRISTmas Resides in Our Hearts ...
(December 2008)

December is once again the time of filling the air with Christmas songs and cheers. TCCD as the extension arm of the University has braced itself to generate and tapped all energies of the University’’s giving hearts in preparation for Christmas activities for our partner communities in Quezon City, Antiplo, Liliw, Laguna and Zambales and our partners with an open engagement status such as the Alban Memorial Foundation, Inc. and the Villaverde No. 47 Order of the Amaranth in Nueva Vizcaya .

To accomplish its objective of being able to share our blessings, TCCD circulated solicitation letters to private individuals, to the members of the TUA MANCOM , the Chairman of the Board of Trustees to solicit funds and material resources to buy Christmas gifts to be distri buted to our partner communities. Believing that Christmas is about giving, TCCD was overwhelmed with the support it received from the different kindhearted individuals within the University and the generosity of outsiders who have believed in our endeavor.

First in a row was the inter-college Christmas gift giving in Liliw, Laguna with the Central Student Council (CSC) as the partner of TCCD and the University as a whole. All Colleges were represented but the activities were not solely on gift giving but also providing education inputs on varied topics according to the expertise of each college. This affair was also participated in by the residents of Daniw, the students of the College of Nursing who are doing RLE, TCCD Coordinators, the Alumni office, Library, ,Dean of the College of Medical Technology, two(2) faculty from the CBA and TCCD staff. The activity was held on December 13, 2008 at Daniw where many of the residents registered to participate in the raffle that we prepared for this Christmas gift giving. The different Colleges put up a booth to acquaint the community residents about their programs and services.

Pre-School Classes
(November 2008)

On November 19, 2008, the Memorandum of Agreement was signed between the Trinity University of Asia represented by the Dean of the College of Education, Dr. Adel Gillette and the President of the Rotary Club of Timog, Atty. Greg Buhain.. This agreement is forged to provide free pre-school education to the poor children of Damayang Lagi. The Rotary club of Timog provides for the school supplies and uniforms of the children. The tuition fees are counterpart of the University as well as the teachers who will be teaching to the children. The community’s counterpart is the selection of the recipients of the program and to monitor the performance of the children.. The partnership is five (5) years and renewable after assessment and evaluation of the project. We only hope that the Rotary’s support will sustain even after the memorandum of agreement expires.
