GPF ENTERS MOA WITH ARAULLO HIGH SCHOOL FOR LEAP HUBS PROGRAM Global Peace Foundation Philippines entered a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Araullo High School in

implementing the first “Leap Hub” last June 28, 2019.

Leap Hubs is a Leadership and Entrepreneurship program piloted in Kenya in 2015. Its goal is to guide and provide space for

secondary students who are motivated to venture in business and entrepreneurship.

The Assistant Schools Division Superintendent Marivic Leaño, also a CCI advocate, witnessed the signing along with Dr.

Dinah Mindo. Representing Araullo High School were the School Principal Dr. Amelita De Mesa and Assistant Principal II for

Senior High School Fronie Francisco.

ASSESSMENT AND PLANNING SESSIONS WITH KJCMES CCI INNOVATIONAND KERIS CCI BETTER SCHOOL CARE Last June 18, 2019, the CCI Innovation Team of Kapt. Jose Cardones Memorial Elementary School led by

School Principal Dr. Romeo Olalo and CCI School Director Luisa Lovendino held the first quarter assessment

and planning session. The assessment is based on the action plans presented in January of this year. The team

then decided on which interventions to continue and develop, to revise, and to change. Dr. Olalo did a

reshuffle of the Grade Leaders, thus some teachers are new to the team (although not new to CCI). In spite of

that, the team is cohesive enough to deliver improved outcomes at the next assessment and planning session.

On June 20th the CCI Better School Care Team of Kapt. Eddie T. Reyes Integrated School led by School

Principal Dr. Delfin Hernandez Jr. and CCI School Director Evangeline Dotado also held the first quarter

assessment and planning session. Like KJCMES, the assessment is also based on the action plans the team

presented in January of this year. KERIS opened its first Senior High School this year. The Grade Leaders in

attendance were new to CCI but they were able to connect well and are eager to learn more.

Global Peace Foundation (GPF) Philippines facilitated

their reorganization and lectured on organizational

management and development.

The association's livelihood is duck-raising turned

hog-raising. At first, they had been tending ducks and

the results were promising. However, due to flooding,

sickness among the ducks were inevitable. This is the

reason why they ended up losing majority of the ducks

and their association's savings. They decided to sell the

remaining ducks and converted their livelihood into

hog-raising. Five pigs were initially bought as their

starter.

A dream becomes reality if people in the same

community would like to achieve that as well. A

peaceful ideal world is not impossible if everyone on

Earth will unite into a common goal which is to create a

"One Family Under God".
