We began feeding hundreds of people.
Despite this, they persevered with their dream to go to school and live a life of hope over despair. Teachers delivered paper handouts to students weekly.
Yesterday was a miracle in the middle of the pandemic.
We had a graduation ceremony!
Proud parents cried tears of joy and students beamed from ear to ear.
The new school year begins in January and we have no gala in sight.
We need you like never before.

It is that time of year again. The 2021 Access Education Annual Gala is back! The theme this year is " Cooking with Friends, Cooking for Kids".
The event will be happening on October 28, 2021 on Zoom (it is a virtual event). The doors open at 6:00pm and the program begins at 6:15pm.
Many of our families in La Union have suffered indescribable hardship during this global pandemic and the impacts continue to plague them. Many of these families need their children to work so we are now doing double duty: supporting our schools, and supporting the devastated families that need our help to keep their kids in school.
On behalf of the children and families, we thank you for your support and look forward to seeing you on October 28!
