SM Foundation helps uplift education with 107th school building in La Union

Overcrowding is a major challenge faced by public schools in the Philippines. With limited resources and a large student population, classrooms often become crammed, hindering effective learning and individual attention. The SM Foundation's School Building program directly addresses this by providing much-needed classrooms, particularly in low-income communities.

As a testament to its staunch advocacy in promoting quality education in the Philippines, the SM Foundation inaugurated its 107th school building at the South Central Integrated School in San Fernando, La Union, on January 4, 2024.

Alleviating quality of education

This two-story, four-classroom structure will be a welcome addition to the community, alleviating the burden of classroom overcrowding and providing a conducive learning environment for 200 Grade 7 students.

The new school building at South Central Integrated School is more than just bricks and mortar. It stands as a symbol of hope and opportunity for the students who will learn within its walls.

The building is fully furnished with armchairs (including left-handed options), teacher's desks and chairs, panoramic whiteboards, wall fans, and wall clocks. To ensure inclusivity, the structure includes a PWD ramp and a PWD-friendly comfort room with handrails and necessary amenities.

Enhanced safety and well-being features

The SM Foundation also prioritizes the safety and well-being of students and staff. The building is equipped with fire alarms and emergency lights in key areas, ensuring a quick response in case of emergencies.

To promote a healthy learning environment, a ten-faucet handwashing facility and overhead water tanks have been installed. Dedicated rooms for a guidance office, art gallery, and a prayer room further enhance the school's functionality and cater to the diverse needs of the community.

SM Foundation's impact extends beyond constructing schools, resonating in enhanced safety, nurturing learning spaces, and a broader commitment to educational empowerment. Building not just structures but opportunities, the foundation stands as a beacon of hope, illuminating a path to a brighter, more inclusive future for countless students nationwide.

Youth for the care of the environment With Hon. Kirk Andrew Agulan, SK Federation President of CSF La Union

Youth for the care of the environment.

SK Federation President Kirk Andrew M. Agulan participated in the 3rd edition of Pasko sa Batis ng Bakawan, promoting care and protection of the 18 hectares of mangrove timberland, wherein his barangay Carlatan is part of it. He had expressed appreciation of the mangrove protection project of the Association of Tourism Industries and Networks in La Union (ATIN LU) and Chamber of Commerce and Industry in La Union (CCI LU), since he values the importance of the youth to be involved in the preservation of the mangroves since Carlatan is near the coastal area where fishing is a livelihood and as we all know, fishes thrive where there is a mangrove. He had shown gratitude towards the organizers for sharing a gift to the lucky recipients from Carlatan and ended his message with a commitment to take part in the future projects of ATIN LU most especially with regards to nature preservation and environmental protection. The said event is supported by the City Government of San Fernando, Provincial Government of La Union and Department of Tourism Region I.
