Now she has been promoted to a full-time faculty member of Anihan School teaching baking and packaging classes.

“When I graduated from Anihan, I worked at the Anihan Livelihood Center for about three years. Then I moved to the Laguna Hills Study Camp and became a Dining Attendant for almost two months. Because of my family's inadequate income I decided to work at Panasonic as a Production Operator for about half a year. I then took a diploma course in Information Technology course at STI in 2008. Because of limited finances, I decided to be a working student. I applied again at the Anihan Livelihood Center and I was fortunate that I was taken in again. After my contract with them, I moved to the PNCC (Philippine National Construction Corporation) as a Toll Teller for almost five months. There, I met my husband - Lawrence who is currently working at Allegro Microsystem Company. As of now, we have one child”

 “Because of Anihan, I was able to help my parents with their daily expenses at home. My two younger sisters also graduated from Anihan, and are currently working in well-known establishments. As an eldest daughter, it was not easy to pursue my collegiate studies because of financial limitations, but I did not give up because I knew God always helps and guides me”

 “I am very grateful to Anihan Technical School because I finished my studies.  Although studying at Anihan was not my first choice, I am glad I went there because I had the opportunity to get to know God, and I learned to cook and bake. Thank you very much to those generous people who continuously help the school. Thank you to my mentor who guides me and my whole family. Thank you Anihan family”
