Our GCC scholar # 3 David Catindoy is on his 2nd year College at the Mindanao State University (MSU) taking up BS Information Technology.  Unfortunately, due to the non availability of computer shops with the necessary programs, he is having difficulty with his assignments.

Only their computer laboratory have the adequate facilities.  Unfortunately they can use it only on a limited basis so he is having a hard time doing their programming assignments.

May we ask our kind-hearted kababayans to please donate your second-hand laptop for Mr. Catindoy.  This would surely increase his performance in school and give him a better chance of finishing his course at MSU.

You may contact the Gigaquit Civic Club at gigaquitonline@gmail.com for further details.

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.
