Laurito Dao, Jr. a graduate of the GNSHI Class 2012, is the top candidate for GCC scholarship.  He qualified for the Provincial Government "Iskolaran' project so his schooling is now supported but only for the tuition fee.  He is already enrolled at the Surigao State College of Technology.

However, until now we have not found a guardian where he can stay in Surigao City.  We would like therefore to ask for help to find the household who can take him in.  Hoping for your support Dear kababayans.

Mabuhi an mga Gigaquitnons!

Please see below bio to know his backround . . .

Mrs. Jimiross Digol, a Gigaquitnon who is with the Judicial Court in Surigao City is the Guardian for GCC Scholar # 8.

She will shoulder the board, lodging and other expenses relating to the schooling of Laurito Dao, Jr. except the tuition fee.

We are very happy with the swift result in finding the guardian for scholar # 8.
