33 finish high school

3 graduate from college

(from the GiL@S brochure)

Synergy

• The Ayala Foundation and GiL@S– committed to bettering the infrastructure of

Philippine public high schools via Internet access

• The Ayala Foundation and JCAP– seek to offer college opportunities to the

brightest of these Philippine public high school graduates who might otherwise not be able to get a college education

More Synergy: A Dream

• That someday a Gawad Kalinga resident who avails himself or herself of Internet capabilities in his or her Philippine public high school funded by GiL@S will receive a JCAP college scholarship, graduate college with honors from a top Philippine college, and go on to become a great national leader
