Pride and joy filled the Save our Street Children Foundation office in Baguio City, Philippines as the latest news from the Philippine Professional Regulation commission revealed that two of its scholars and Bachelor of Science in Nursing graduates Hannah Gano and Michael Mang-usan passed the recent licensure examination for nurses. Meanwhile, in their respective homes, warm congratulations were showered upon them by their friends and families, coupled with a simple celebration and thanksgiving.

It will be recalled that another SOSCFI scholar, Mioryel Lagadan also passed her nursing board two years ago. Right now she is employed as a nurse at the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. But for Hannah and Michael, their new licensure means they have to compete with some other 3200 successful examinees from Baguio City alone for a very limited nursing job in hospitals, so both will be very busy looking for a job or inquiring for volunteer opportunities inside or even outside the City.

SOSCFI has been proud of its scholars, most of whom are now gainfully employed and helping their respective families either by sending their other siblings to school or taking care of some household expenses. In 10 years SOSCFI was able to graduate a total of 48 scholars in both college and vocational courses. This year, 2010, another group of seven scholars will be graduating; four of them finishing their respective four-year courses while the three others will be finishing their vocational courses.

In the lower levels, at the end of March, nine shall be graduating from high school and 12 will be graduating from the elementary levels. Finally, the Alternative Learning System is expected to graduate 15 out of school youth – 13 in high school and 2 in elementary. The office of SOSCFI served as a an alternative classroom for these out of school youth for the last 10 months aside from the tutorial classes conducted every Saturday for its 150 scholars. Arrangements with the local government units are underway for the shared program of ALS which aims to serve more indigent children who cannot afford to attend the formal school set up. This will also be headed by SOSCFI beginning July 2010 in selected villages only and where a space is available for mobile teachers to conduct their classes.
