campus volunteer program

September 10, 2005

    THE Tsinelas Association Inc. believes in the role of the youth in improving society. Tsinelas believes that its mission and vision can be achieved with the youth sector involved in its operation, and that it needs the idealism and dynamism of the young to stay relevant to the times.

The Tsinelas Campus Volunteer Program was formed out of this conviction. The program organizes students who share in Tsinelas’ cause and makes them active members of the organization. It helps students become more socially aware and involved in other people’s struggle for their right to education. (more…)

first year of operation

SY 2004-2005

 June 2004

TSINELAS officially started its operations with a visit to Lut-od National High School to meet with students, teachers and parents. The group evaluated the needs of the students and the school and assessed where it could come in.
Before the visit, Tsinelas, with the help of the teachers in Lut-od, selected ten second year students - all of them in the honor roll - as “full scholars”. As such, the students will receive all basic school needs, like school fees, uniforms, bags, notebooks.

During the visit, the group got first-hand information of the difficulties the school and its students are experiencing.
    Aside from assisting the ten scholars, Tsinelas decided it should also help the entire school by giving it material assistance, like armchairs, office supplies, books, book shelves and minor repairs of its facilities. (more…)
