SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMME
Our scholarship programme back in 2001 was the GRP/Kalumonan Scholarship fund. The programme was to allow those from the most underprivileged families to graduate at college level. The programme has now expanded to assist High School students as well. At present there are over twenty students benefiting from the fund. Education is often the key that opens up new horizons and employment opportunities for those who have came from either poor subsistence in agricultural or fisher folks backgrounds. Without college graduation, it is extremely difficult to find employment outside of the traditional farming and fishing " industries" which offer little more than a hand to mouth existence.
