I. Cebu Rural Christian Mission Ministry - Kindergarten/Preschool Classes The foundation is supporting a volunteer-run pre-school/kindergarten program in Sac-on, Cebu. Classes are held inside the renovated Sac-on UCCP church building. Although Philippines has free public education, but because of the project area's remoteness, public pre-school education is not available. The parents are unable to provide preparatory education to their children because all available family members work in their farms through out the day, and that several adults are illiterate themselves. Thus, several children are not adequately prepared to enter elementary schools causing learning difficulties and some to drop out. To fill-in the need, a retired ordained minister in Sac-on, Cebu developed and ran a pre-school/kindergarten program.

II. Kindergarten Graduation - March 2008: There were 16 graduates in this batch. Enrollment is now up to 32 students. Some of the students have to walk for several kilometers (literally from other mountains) just to attend the classes.
III. Feeding: Part of the program is the feeding of students once a week.
