    The Happy Forest Kids Center in a remote Philippine community fulfilled its social responsibility by providing laptops and internet access to local children during the pandemic. This allowed over 120 elementary to high school students to continue their education online, as many previously lacked computers and reliable connectivity. Without this assistance, some children would have been unable to learn due to difficulties with distance learning requirements. Ensuring all children have an equal opportunity to learn, especially in difficult times, demonstrates the importance of fulfilling social responsibilities in communities.

    How a community program in rural PH provides schooling to IP children – SunStar Davao, April 2022

    Sarah Cabante, 12, a ninth grader, joined her friends on a gloomy Wednesday morning to discuss their learning modules
    at the Happy Forest Kids (HFK) Center -- a learning center located in a remote community in Sitio Catmonan, Barangay
    Macambol, Mati City, Davao Oriental in Mindanao, Southern Philippines.

    The center, just a stone’s throw away from her home, serves as a learning sanctuary for indigenous children who have
    little to no access to essential educational services and learning materials, a concern that worsened during the
    coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic. Children in this upland and coastal community are generally deprived of
    technological gadgets and strong connectivity, while others remain computer illiterate.

    When the pandemic hit early 2020, young learners from this poor community with over 120 children from primary school
    to Senior High School were greatly affected.

    In the Philippines, to respond to the threats of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Department of Education shifted from face-to-
    face classes to three modalities: Modular (printed or digitized), online learning, and radio and television-based
    instruction, or a combination of these (blended learning).

    This is where HFK stepped in. Seeing connectivity and lack of learning materials and gadgets as a hindrance to
    children’s education in the new normal, HFK - Catmonan coordinator/champion and owner of Darrporrt Camping Site,
    Daruel Porlares pushed for providing computers and internet connection in the area under the HFK Computer Literacy
    and New Normal Learning Program.

    Questions:

    1. What social responsibility was fulfilled by the Happy Foster Kids Center, and how was it fulfilled?

    HFK Center provided pandemic relief to children in a rural area. For children to continue learning when schools moved
    online, laptops and internet were provided. Those without access to technology or the internet could now pursue an
    education.
    2. Based on the excerpt, what are the adverse effects of unstable internet connectivity and lack of learning gadgets?

    Lack of access to computers and reliable internet caused some children to be unable to learn. Additionally, their lack of
    computer literacy made things difficult for them during the pandemic.

    3. How would you rationalize the importance of social responsibilities based on the provided news excerpt?

    Aiding children during difficult times is crucial. HFK achieved this by providing learning resources. Social responsibility
    makes ensuring that everyone has an equal opportunity to learn and supports communities in times of need. In this
    instance, the goal is to ensure that during the pandemic, nobody is left behind.
