In a commendable display of commitment to community development, the Police Community Affairs Development Course (PCADC) Students from Class 02-051-R2-2023-11 orchestrated an impactful Enhanced Community Immersion Program. Unfolding in Brgy. Magsaysay, Saguday, Quirino, and Saguday National High School from September 29 to October 5, 2023, the program comprised a diverse array of activities designed to catalyze positive change and uplift the community.
✨Transformative Education for Empowerment: Knowledge as a Catalyst for Change
A cornerstone of the program was the series of enlightening lectures delivered by the PCADC students. Covering crucial topics such as Violence Against Women and their Cildren (VAWC), the Anti-Rape Law, the Effects of Drugs, Anti-Bullying, Anti-Bastos, Values Formation, and the Importance of Morale and Welfare, these sessions aimed to empower community members with knowledge and awareness. The interactive nature of the lectures fostered an environment conducive to dialogue, ensuring that the information resonated deeply with the audience.
✨Nurturing Minds, Providing Essentials: A Holistic Approach to Community Welfare
Beyond words, the PCADC students went the extra mile by distributing school supplies and food packs, providing essential support to the community. Recognizing the need for holistic development, a feeding program for malnourished children was also organized, coupled with a free haircut service to promote personal hygiene and well-being.
✨Hands-on Training for Sustainable Livelihood
Understanding the importance of equipping communities with tangible skills, the PCADC students collaborated with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) to provide training on farming. This not only enhances the residents’ agricultural knowledge but also lays the groundwork for sustainable livelihoods.
✨Greening the Future:
Tree Planting for Environmental Stewardship
Environmental consciousness took center stage as high school students participated in a tree planting activity. This hands-on engagement instilled a sense of environmental responsibility among the youth, fostering a spirit of sustainability and conservation that goes beyond the boundaries of the community.
✨Building Bridges Through Community Engagement
The success of the Enhanced Community Immersion Program lies not just in the activities undertaken but in the bonds forged between the PCADC students and the residents of Brgy. Magsaysay.
