Silid Aralan celebrates its 17th year

Silid Aralan is grateful to have been gifted with the mission to empower children who need support the most. Last April 12, 2024, the organization officially turned 17 years old and specially spent its anniversary with its board members, staff, individual and non-individual partners, learners, volunteers, parents, families and friends.

This year’s celebration was as colorful and fun as its theme which was “Fiesta Filipino.” The venue was decorated with colorful balloons, party flags or banderitas, and flowers. Games like the Silid Aralan Trivia and “Hep, Hep, Hooray!” added fun and lightness to the event. The learners and SAI employees also made the event memorable through their dance presentations. Transformation stories from two learners – Angel (Ground Zero) and Jane (Sr. iLEAD) – gave more meaning and inspiration to the mission that was started 17 years ago.

One of the highlights of the event was the Partners’ Appreciation. Truly, Silid Aralan is deeply grateful to every person, company, school/university, Schools Division Office, grantor, non-profit organization, local government unit, and many more that supported the organization. It is largely because of their support, innovative ideas, selfless service, and generous contributions that the organization has lasted for this long.

After 17 years of service, Silid Aralan remains to be dedicated to its mission and continues to get excited with every new possible innovation it could pursue to make learning more fun, enjoyable and effective for the learners it serves. Here’s to more years of meaning, learning and growing!
