OBSERVATIONS:

Some schools did not answer all items in the survey

Some outreach programs are mere activities, some are seasonal

activities (e.g., Christmas gift-giving, etc)

Some activities are mere dole-outs which will make the people

more dependent.

There is a need to establish a holistic poverty alleviation program

that would enable the partner communities to become self-reliant

and self-determining. and self-determining.
