CEBU,
February 18 (PIA) – A Fun Run for a Cause dubbed “Tatak TESDA: Dagan Ta, Tabang
Ta” is set on March 7 where proceeds will benefit the scholars of the Technical
Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA-7).
The run early next month
will have two categories which are the 3K and the 6K that will jumpstart at
5:00 in the morning beginning at Sumilon Road, Cebu Business Park.
Initiated by the Cebu
Association of Private Technical Vocational Institutions (CAPTI), the purpose
is to raise funds to help TESDA scholars who barely have the resources for
transportation fare and food which usually cause these scholars to drop out
from their training.
Proceeds from the
fund-raising activity will provide deserving TESDA scholars their daily
allowance to sustain them throughout the duration of their training.
CAPTI is inviting the
public to join the cause and help the poor TESDA scholars who work hard to make
a better life for their families.
TESDA Sec. Joel
Villanueva has given his 100 percent support to the project and is invited to participate
in the fun run.
The long time goal of
the association is to sustain this kind of project to benefit more scholars.
Registration fee is at
P350 with singlet and food.
Those who are interested
to join can go to the following: Runners Store in Ayala Center, Primary Homes
Office in SM Cebu or at TESDA 7 Regional Office. (fcr/pia7 with TESDA-7 PR)
