In line with its strong culture of volunteerism, PSYSC in partnership with World Vision conducted a BASIC Outreach Program, an avenue for the organization to give back to the community and reach out to those less fortunate youth, at the Philippine Children’s Medical Center (PCMC), Agham Road, Quezon Avenue, Quezon City last March 23, 2015.

            To hype up everyone’s mood, the NECATs danced to the NCSIW 2014 Dance so that the children can follow. A lecture on some facts and trivia about engineering was given by PSYSC Finance Officer, Steven Michael Resma and was followed by fun, educational, and interactive activities on basic science concepts.

Do you believe that the smallest act of kindness could move mountains towards a better society? Do you believe that reaching out can change a life? Do you believe that every little thing we do goes a long way, which eventually ends up touching our hearts at the end of the day?

US President Barrack Obama once said, "The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.”

TIME TO WORK! The ates and kuyas encourage the children of the PWDs to finish the bridge.

Last March 15, 2015, the PSYSC held the BASIC Outreach (BASIC-O) to the Persons With Disability (PWDs) of Tahanang Walang Hagdanan, Inc. located in Cainta, Rizal.

The BASIC Outreach involved a mini lecture on engineering discussed by student volunteer Steven Resma. Science tricks were demonstrated by student volunteer Nissi Buenaobra. The outreach also featured a special workshop on bridge-making where our Kuyas and Ates facilitated and guided every working team. The team that made the bridge that can support the most weight received a special prize. Aside from the science spectacles, intermission numbers were showcased both by the student volunteers and the Tahanang Walang Hagdanan, Inc. community. Snacks and lunch were served as well.

            “Laking PSYSC, talino’y inaalay para sa kabataan,

            Laking PSYSC,masaya kami at palakaibigan,

            Laking PSYSC,kasama ang hiwaga ng agham,

            Sa PSYSC, nakilala kita..”

These are some of the lyrics included in the song Laking PSYSC. These lyrics may just be phrases to others but it actually displays a deep meaning.

Last November 21 one of the most internationally anticipated movies this 2013 – Catching Fire – was launched. The movie based on the second book in Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games trilogy made everybody thrilled and excited to go watch it. That includes the ate’s and kuya’s of PSYSC. At least thirty eager volunteers marched to Trinoma on the said movie’s premiere day to witness for themselves the much awaited sequel.

The movie was great but watching it with the company of their fellow members made it greater. This was a great opportunity for them to bond and spend time with each other. Continue reading to know what the NECATs thought of this experience.

A fun-filled and engaging BASIC Outreach happened on November 24, 2012 at the ABS CBN Compound, Mother Ignacia St., Quezon City in cooperation with Bantay Bata. Almost 90 kids were present with their parents and guardians. Ate Arriane Lacaba and Kuya RG Juraez became the masters of ceremony. The program started with a doxology rendered by Mayumi Morales, a special guest, which was followed by the opening remarks of Ate Hannie Lyn Talip.

Science lectures were presented which tackled facts about the animal kingdom, digestive system and the solar system. Perkiness in participating and eagerness to learn were seen in the kids. They raised their hands to answer questions or sometimes, because of feeling of excitement, they blurt out the answers in chorus. To add up to this excitement, science tricks were performed. The tricks were Blowing up a Balloon With Baking Soda and Vinegar, P¬opping Balloon and Blooming Flower. It was amazing how some of the kids knew what will happen to those tricks. It was evident on their faces that they enjoyed the activities.
