FORMER SCHOLAR NOW TEACHES AT IHMS

Miss Salvacion Gardon, a former scholar of Damayan-Buluseño, Inc. is now teaching in the second grade offering of the Immaculate Heart of Mary School in Bulusan, a Catholic school run by Franciscan sisters.

Miss Gardon graduated last year in Education from the Bicol University in Legaspi City with high scholastic records.

In 1999, she graduated high school valedictorian from then Jose S. Reyes Memorial Institute (JSRMI) in Bulusan. A daughter of a poor family in Barangay Poctol, Bulusan, she was taken in as a scholar of Damayan-Buluseño, Inc. in its Scholarship Through Sponsorship Program.

Her four-year scholarship was sponsored by Mr. Martin G. Halum, a kindhearted Buluseño businessman based in New Jersey, USA.

Inspired by reports of her high grades in school which he received regularly after every semester, Mr. Halum sent an additional amount, aside from her regular allowance – for her graduation necessities.
