PCF runs three of its own schools for children who live in the poorest squatters areas in their region, two schools are located on dump sites, and the other is in a cemetery. We also fund one partner school in Bacolod City with an Assemblies Of God Church. Children are selected from the poorest families and enrolled in to school and taught by teachers who are sensitive to all their needs, educational, emotional, physical and social. Lessons are carefully planned to build self esteem and self worth, and the God centered curriculum enables children to understand that they are loved and valued. There are out of school activities and a creative arts program that are used as incentives to encourage children to regularly attend school and maintain high grades. Some of the activities include soccer training and teams, ballet scholarships, bookclubs, choir, modern dance, camera clubs, and fine arts and drawing.. College Sponsorship PCF select students from the PCF catchment area that want to take college courses in teaching, social work, skills training, and administration. Students are means tested and then offered a scholarship in to college with the hope that they will eventually be employed by PCF. All college students currently volunteer their time with PCF as their contribution back to the community. Adult Literacy Regular meetings are held with the community to ask them which services they would like to see us doing. We now teach adult literacy and basic math skills, so that they can go on to start a business.
