October 20, 2011 marked the third year anniversary of the OWWA-Microsoft Tulay Program in Caraga Region. The celebration was simple but fun and educational and was attended by thirty-eight Tulay-Caraga graduates (Batch 2008 to 2011).
It started with the first implementation of the latest Tulay Program course "Learn and Earn Seminar-Workshop" which introduces ways and innovations that helps graduates utilize technology wisely.
The workshop was then followed with the 10th Graduation Ceremony of the July to October trainees.
The event also served as the 6th Get-together of the alumni where latest graduates met the old ones and ka-batches were able to reminisce their training days at OWWA CTLC.
For me, organizing the event without any revolving fund is stressful, but with its successful outcome, it was truly worthwhile. I am very proud of the Tulay-Caraga Officers & Alumni who are always very supportive, cooperative and understanding. I am very proud they became my trainees.
Until next events guys. See you in December, God willing!

| The Warm Up Exercise |
Welcome to the 3" Year Anniversary Celebration of the OWWA-Microsoft Tulay Progam and the 10th Graduation Ceremony & Get-together. I am just asking you to lend me a few minutes of your time to share some thoughts and to welcome the new graduates.
Let me start with a quote by Aristotle that says "Education is the best provision for old age." I chose this, not to tell you that we're too old to study and to learn, but it connotes to the newest module of the Tulay Program - the "Learn and Earn". That means the education you got is an investment. And lt will last throughout your life and into old age.

| The Discusion |
I was once like you who was given the chance to avail the computer literacy of OWWA. I am a computer Science graduate though, but I believe as time runs, technology changes.
Life nowadays is a rat race, One has to double his effort in order to meet the demands of time.
To the graduating men and women of this batch, you are considered as the cream of the crop. You are now equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge. Use it to uplift your life for the welfare of your family and to our nation as well.

| The Workshop |
ln behalf of the officers of Un Pont Caraga, our OWWA-Microsoft Tulay Alumni Club, I welcome you all.
Tulay and Un Pont is not different. "Un Pont" is just a French word of "Tulay". Since this program benefits the OFWs and their dependents, we want it to sound global and timely.
Un Pont Caraga's Vision and Mission is to promote camaraderie among OFWs and their dependents. We aim to be a good example of our children, to be a god citizen and to help our OWWA programs possible.

We have already conducted some humanitarian activities. Among others are the Flood Missions Part 1 and 2 last February 2011. The latest was the Tree Planting Mission last July 2011, and soon is the Give-a-Gift Mission on December.
As new graduates I would like you to invite to join us and be a part of our missions.
