On November 24, 2025, a heartwarming gift-giving activity took place at the House of Hope in Upper Palalan, Lumbia, Cagayan de Oro City. This initiative was made possible through the collaboration of the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Office of the University National Service Training Program (NSTP), and the Office of Extension and Service Learning (OESL) of Liceo de Cagayan University.
The event was marked by a spirit of generosity and compassion, with NSTP students enrolled in G-NSTP 1 for the school year 2025-2026 stepping up to contribute a variety of much-needed supplies for the patients at the House of Hope. Among the donations were essential items such as bath soaps, shampoos, detergent soaps and powders, toothpaste, toothbrushes, tissue paper, sacks of rice, cooking oil, soy sauce, and vinegar. These donations were not only practical but also a vital call to meet the needs of the residents at the facility.
A special thanks also to the NSTP Student Council, who played a crucial role in the success of the event by assisting with the repacking of all the donations, ensuring that everything was ready for delivery to the House of Hope.
The House of Hope Foundation, Incorporated, the recipient of these generous contributions, is a charitable institution dedicated to providing custodial psychiatric care for individuals who are mentally challenged. Owned by the Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro City, it operates under the Ad Extra Ministries and serves as a vital resource for the community. Located in Upper Palalan, Lumbia, the House of Hope is a place of support and care for those in need of specialized attention.
This gift-giving activity was not just about the donations but also about coming together as a community to provide meaningful support to those who need it most. The event serves as a reminder of the importance of compassion and service, with the contributions from the Liceo de Cagayan University community truly making a difference in the lives of the residents at the House of Hope.
