In the quiet barangay of Cabaroan, Tagudin, Ilocos Sur, a simple barrier stands between 1000 students and their education—the cost of printing their schoolwork. While this might seem trivial to many of us, for these students, it represents an agonizing choice: Do I print my assignment or eat lunch today? Do I ask my parents for money they don’t have, or do I risk failing my class?
When Paper and Ink Determine Your Future
At ISPSC Tagudin Laboratory High School, teachers assign work requiring printed submissions, unaware that for many students, this creates a genuine crisis. Young learners walk for miles to find affordable printing services, spending precious study time and limited resources just to meet basic requirements.
The stress is visible on their faces. The shame of repeatedly asking for extensions. The anxiety of watching classmates turn in assignments while their own remain unprinted. The heartbreak of knowing they have the knowledge but lack the resources to demonstrate it.
Your Gift of $1,267.89 Removes This Barrier Forever
The “Sagut Panagadal” program’s School-Based Printing Shop initiative addresses this critical need with a beautifully simple solution. Your contribution will:
Equip a Dedicated Space: Provide essential printing equipment, laminators, and supplies that transform a simple room into an educational lifeline
Remove Financial Barriers: Ensure that no student must choose between printing an assignment and having lunch that day
Create Educational Equity: Establish scholarships for the most financially vulnerable students, covering tuition and other educational expenses
The Ripple Effect of Your Generosity
When you fund this printing shop, your impact extends far beyond paper and ink:
Dreams Preserved: Students who might have abandoned education due to mounting costs can stay in school and pursue their aspirations
Dignity Restored: Young learners no longer face the humiliation of explaining why they couldn’t complete assignments
