Detailed description

December 4, 2021 - When the youth of Olongapo get into trouble, either from abuse or their own doing, they need a place to feel safe and help get their lives back on track. The Olongapo Center for Youth provides a safe, secure, and structured environment for the teenagers to receive support for whatever they need. Funding and supplies are always limited so any donations are appreciated. In collaboration with Rotaract Club of Downtown Olongapo II and the Rotaract Club of Gordon College, RCDO was on hand to donate personal hygiene kits, school supplies, flip-flops and candies. On hand to receive the items were Mrs. Rowena Fabay and Rosalie Abarca.
