The graduates, with flying colors!!!

After having their fieldwork in SHEC, the students of Asian Social Institute have finally come up with their presentation of their work with some other students. Their excellent work of community organizing in Pasay has proved that they indeed have been equipped with the skills and inspiration needed in assisting the poor as a way to follow Jesus Christ, the first social worker. Congratulations. (From left Beta, Bench, Van, Tin, Susan, Gladdys, Lina, Jenny)
