On June 10, 2025, our club took another meaningful step toward promoting education and literacy as we turned over computers to Bagumbong Elementary School in Caloocan. This initiative is part of our flagship program, Project UPTOWN: Unlocking Potential Through Our Words and Nurturing, under the Pathways to Learning Series.
This project was made possible through our collaboration with GWL – Giving Whilst Living, whose generosity and shared vision for accessible education made this impact achievable.
Representing our clubs during the turnover were:
- PE Enzo Abatayo from the Rotaract Club of Uptown Cubao
- PE Princess Silva from the Rotary Club of Uptown Cubao
- Rotarian Jam Fuentenegra, our passionate Project Lead
- Alongside other dedicated members from both clubs
The excitement on the faces of the students and teachers reminded us why we do what we do. Access to technology remains a barrier for many public schools, and we’re proud that our contribution will now help bridge that gap. These computers will be used for computer literacy classes, research, and digital learning—empowering students and educators alike.
Rotarian Jam said it best during the short program:
“Technology should never be a privilege, but a tool for empowerment—especially for the youth. Through this initiative, we hope to nurture not just learners, but future leaders.”
This turnover is just one piece of a bigger picture. As we continue to roll out the activities under Project UPTOWN—from Brigada Eskwela to reading sessions and literacy workshops—we remain committed to creating lasting impact through education.
Together, we are unlocking potential—one word, one nurturing act, and one meaningful partnership at a time.
