Detailed description
Part of this year's District Grant of District 3810 goes to Mangyan Education Center (MEC). The center houses 50 Mangyan students, as scholars of Divine Word College of San Jose. They are staying at the center free board and lodging and free schooling, as well. To help support the families of these scholars, a sustainable project is initiated by the Rotary Club of San Jose Downtown dubbed as ' Beads for our Need'. They were being supplied by the club with beads and nylon for their beadworks. They will be selling their beads and income will be used to purchase more beads to continue the project. Portion of the profit will also be used for their daily needs. The club is monitoring the project and help them also in the marketing of their products.
