Project LINGAP: Celebration of Learning & Bags of Hope Implementation

May 30 · Don Carlos Village Elementary School

JCI Perlas Pasay proudly celebrated the achievements of Batch 5 of our Basic Education and Literacy Program through Project LINGAP, recognizing the dedication and progress of young learners while providing school supplies through the Bags of Hope initiative.

Together with valued service partners, volunteers, and contributors, we reaffirmed our commitment to promoting literacy, empowering children, and creating opportunities for a brighter future — one child, one bag, and one lesson at a time.

Project CLAP

Community-based Literacy Acceleration Program

Hand-in-hand with Project LINGAP, Project CLAP aims to empower the real teachers of our pupils beyond classroom walls– their parents. These training sessions are designed to guide parents on how to effectively tutor their children at home, and have recently expanded to train young volunteer tutors as well starting 2025.
