 Sep 10, 2008 Do you know exactly how Papaya Academy existed? Kalinga at Pag-ibig Foundation is a registered Philippine charity, established in September 2002 by Ms. Janneke Heinen. Its main source of financial support comes from “Stitching Kalinga” of The Netherlands. In January 2003, the Board decided to operate a private school which will cater children from impoverished families of Payatas dump site in Quezon City and Kasiglahan Relocation site in Rodriguez. Upon the permission of the Department of Education and with two classrooms- the first 30 children from Payatas and Kasiglahan started their elementary education at the Papaya Academy. PA’s mission: to create a student focused educational environment which aims to achieve academic excellence. It promotes positive beliefs and values, acknowledges and appreciates the diversity of different religious and humanitarian beliefs. Its goal is to educate and develop these children to become mature adults with sense of purpose and belongingness. What sets us apart from other schools? Papaya Academy gives free education to these 180 children- tuition, books, supplies, uniform, meal and transportation. We also empower our parents by providing free livelihood programs through the Piňa project. The Apple Scholars, also a project under this foundation, sends children to Secondary and Tertiary schools. This school year marks the first graduation of our first Batch of students.   Sep 6, 2011
