So, picture this: a sunny day in Barangay Hinigdaan, El Salvador City. The Co-operative College of the Philippines just had a big day. They conducted a ceremonial groundbreaking and well-drilling at what will be their future campus. Exciting, right? This is not just any ordinary ceremony; it’s the start of something monumental, driven by their “Build With Us” campaign and the generous donors who believe in this vision.
The ceremony wasn't just about turning over some soil. They also kicked off deep well-drilling to make potable water accessible in the area. Imagine that - a college that isn't just thinking about education but also the basic needs of its community. It's like they're saying, "Hey, we're here to make a difference, and we're starting from the ground up – literally!"
The “Build With Us” campaign is more than just constructing buildings; it’s about constructing dreams and futures. This initiative is a call to action for everyone who believes in the power of cooperative education. The campaign has pulled in donors from all walks of life, showing that when people come together, incredible things can happen.
Lieven Keppens of the Belgian Raiffeisen Foundation, one of CLIMBS Life and General Insurance Cooperative’s International Partners, said it best during the ceremony: “The best gift you can give to young people is education, and from what I’ve seen, you not only have dreams, but you make your dreams come true.” It was a heartwarming moment that underscored the college’s commitment to the 5th cooperative principle: Education, Training, and Information.
Now, let's talk about that well-drilling. Water is life, right? The Co-operative College of the Philippines understands this fundamental truth. By spearheading the deep well-drilling ceremony, they’re ensuring that the future campus will have a reliable source of potable water. It's a game-changer for the community. Access to clean water isn't just a necessity; it's a stepping stone to better health, education, and overall quality of life.
This initiative doesn't just stop at providing water. It's a statement. It's the college saying, "We care about you. We care about your health, your education, and your future." It's about creating a holistic environment where students can thrive, knowing that their basic needs are met.
Education is at the core of this groundbreaking venture. The Co-operative College of the Philippines is all about providing a lasting and multi-generational cooperative education. They’re not just building a campus; they’re building a legacy. A place where young minds can grow, learn, and become the cooperative leaders of tomorrow.
The dedication to uphold the 5th cooperative principle is evident in every brick laid and every well drilled. The college is committed to providing top-notch education, training, and information to its students. This isn't just about getting a degree; it's about becoming a well-rounded individual equipped to make a real difference in the world.
Yesterday's groundbreaking marks a significant step by the Co-operative College of the Philippines. It symbolizes their unwavering dedication to education and community development in cooperatives. The future campus in Barangay Hinigdaan, El Salvador City, is set to be a beacon of hope, opportunity, and growth.
