The Gender and Development (GAD) Office Drop-In Center at West Visayas State University (WVSU) celebrated its Precious Tribute Summer 2024 Culminating Program, held at the Center for Teaching Excellence on August 5, 2024.

 

With the theme, “Splashes and smiles make the best summer files,” the program highlighted the achievements and growth of the young pupils who attended the Drop-In Center.

 

The event featured a keynote address by Raisa Treñas-Chu, Leader of the Uswag Ilonggo Party List, sharing her personal experiences as a mother.

 

“The most important thing nga ihatag sa aton kabataan is to love them and to believe in them because if we do, they will be capable of achieving great things and their fullest potential,” Treñas-Chu said.

 

The program included the presentation of medals and ribbons to the pupils, recognizing their accomplishments throughout the summer.

 

Parents were also honored with certificates for their support of their children’s educational journey.

 

The Drop-In Center was established in 2002 as per the Board of Regent Resolution, establishing the child-minding facility under the GAD’s supervision. It provides care for children aged two to four years old, ensuring a nurturing environment for their early development.
