Education

In order to help the people to become well-informed and prepared to take what lies ahead in the future, the educational program of St. Hannibal Empowerment Center has made a difference. At this point in time, the poor who have not finished their elementary and high school education are now given the chance to finish them. The project is called Home Study Program. The students study in their own homes. They are just given modules to follow. After some period of time, they are given exams just to see how far they have been. There are a group of volunteers who are assisting them. This program is under the guidance of Angelicum College of the Dominicans. For those who want to take up technical course, they are given the opportunity to enroll. This is also with the help of the Salesians of Don Bosco, Philippines.
