MEET SOME GKONOMICS SCHOLARS

Asked to facilitate the monthly GKonomics Scholars Meeting, Glenn came up with the above theme.  He meant that they should talk about how their dreams before had no way of coming true (thus, "bittersweet") and now they have a chance to fulfill their dreams because of generous strangers who care about them and are part of the GKONOMICS Scholarship program.  

A tiring but inspiring day was capped by these young people's sharings- thank you to all our GKON partners who are making this possible!

Two of our GKONOMICS Scholars at MINT College, Felix Tiongson and Stephanie Estrella, are undertaking their first CCP major theater production as Sound Designers.   

Rhenato Juriel, our GKONOMICS Scholar at Dualtech Learning Center, has successfully completed his 6-month intensive classroom training in electromechanics technology and he just recently started working at EPSON for his OJT.  Our 6 other Dualtech scholars have also completed their classroom training and will be placed shortly in companies for OJTs. 

Daryl Salvacion, our GKONOMICS Scholar at MINT majoring in IT recently volunteered as  KLIK Mobile Education’s computer technician, helping set up the 30 desktop computers that will be used in the KLIK Learning Centers in Smokey Mountain, Tacloban, and Payatas.

Congratulations to Theresa, Marjorie Labrador, John Ryan Gamara, and Kenneth Calahati who have been accepted into the GKONOMICS Scholarship Program for this year.  Theresa and Marjorie are from Tacloban and Kenneth and John Ryan are from Batangas.  Thank you to  our generous sponsors and our community counterparts!

The futures of twelve current scholars of the GKONOMICS Scholarship Program are way different, certainly much brighter and fuller of hope, than they were three years ago.

Congratulations to our GKonomics Scholars who recently graduated from college with honors!!   They are now role models of our KLIKme learners and are now paying forward through Klik Mobile Education, helping in different facets of the work!
We are very proud of you guys!

GKONOMICS scholars enjoyed a rare outing at Matabungkay Beach in Batangas thanks to Bebet Benitez McClelland who shared their family beach house with us!  

Our GKONOMICS Scholars recently had a gathering and we are very proud of them!   From humble beginnings, many are now successful professionals in different fields (education, engineering, performing arts, communications, electro mechanics, infomation tecnology).  Soon we will have nursing and HRM professionals too. 

Many of them paying forward and are helping in our KLIK Mobile Education program. 

Kudos to our GKON Scholarship team led by our Scholarship Director, Nadie Tayag, and thank you to all our sponsors and partners for making dreams come true!
