Business Presentation

Last March 14, 2009 at ACSAT, Aurora Blvd., the Grade 5 Galing Mo Kid (GMK) students presented their business plans to the investors. Students were all dressed up like businessman and businesswoman, wearing long sleeves and tie; and skirts and blouses.

Mentors, volunteers, Hands On Manila board members and friends were there to support the students.

Thank you to those who made this event possible: to the donors and sponsors, to the untiring support of the schools, principals and teacher coordinators; to the volunteer-mentors who have spent countless hours teaching the students; to the volunteer consultants who took time off from work to hold special sessions with the students. Special thanks to Marilou Prudente, Chowking for the food, and ACSAT for the support and for providing the venue.
