Project HANDOG: An Outreach Activity for Farmer Families Affected by Typhoons

In light of the recent devastating typhoons and the hardship faced by many victims, especially in Nueva Ecija, the CLSU Administration has decided to cancel the annual Universitywide Year-End and Thanksgiving Party this year, as per memorandum no. 2025-11-21 (01). Instead of holding a celebration, efforts and resources are being directed to conduct an Outreach Activity dubbed as Project HANDOG (Hakbang ng Akademya para sa Nasalanta, Dala ay Oportunidad at Ginhawa) to provide aid and support through the Technology Village Program to 500 Farmer families in Barangay Burgos, Caranglan, Nueva Ecija. The entire CLSU community is encouraged to channel the true spirit of Bayanihan into meaningful action through helping its neighboring communities and rebuilding hope this holiday season. With this, goods and in-kind donations are welcome and appreciated; however, the University encourages monetary contributions, as these will allow the procurement of uniform grocery items. Inquiries and concerns may be directed and coordinated with the Office of the President through (044) 940 8785. #CLSULiwanagNgPagAsa #SievingForExcellence
