As a Program Model, it needs support in its infancy of
operation while trying to trail an outward direction,
indicating that it has the capacity to sustain its own
growth and development and can become a self-
sustaining program.

- Meaning, once a CYDFI Scholarship Project
Recipient has graduated from high school to
college and becomes gainfully employed (or, self-
employed), the youth's commitment to sponsor,
at least one or two new scholars, will pave the
way for creating more spaces of new scholars.
This is the "ripple effect" of the CYDFI
Scholarship Project Model. - The program is effectively creating a "cream of
leadership" from among the youths who, already,
are recognized in their own right as having the
"potential to become leaders" in their own
respective communities! - In a nutshell, the Foundation dreams to provide
empowerment and is committed to empower them
in the hope that they will learn to be socially
responsible leaders of tomorrow and become
ambassadors of peace and goodwill to mankind.
Such is the change that the Foundation hopes to
accomplish in doing its Mission Work among the
less privileged and poorest of the poor but
deserving talented youths in the rural areas of the
Philippines.
| Principles of SWREM Theory In Action (Please, click the Shell Graphic Picture, for more discussion on the Principles of SWREM Theory In Action). |
| The object "shell" is used as a symbol of the Foundation, Inc. because it captures the image of what Calantas Young Dreamers Foundation, Inc. is designed to be. The apparent "spiral feature" of the shell, having several layers outwardly directed from smallest to biggest, provides a distinct indication of a slow but determined process of its own growth and could fully develop in time and space. These "spiral layers" of the shell are given collective connotative meaning as "SWREM", a coined acronym for "Spiral With Ripple Effect Motion". SWREM, as a term, when adopted to be a guiding principle of the Scholarship Project Model of the Community Youth Leadership and Empowerment Program of the Foundation, can generate a predictable outcome in 8-10 years of its initial operation. Thus, the birth of a theory! |
As a concept and theory, the Foundation views the
"shell" as a model of natural process of growth and
development that when adopted into program design
could trigger a predictable outcome of success on a
longitudinal perspective. As growth takes place and
filtered in time and space, eventually, development
builds up in time.
Foundation to connote as "principles" that will be used
to guide the personal growth and development of the
"scholars" (who are indigent but deserving talented
youths from Calantas and Nabuclod Aeta Community).
As a theory, SWREM is the main engine of the CYDFI
Scholarship Project Model which is geared towards
self-sustainable modality upon reaching its fullness of
maturity.
As applied to Scholarship Project Model of Community
Youth Leadership and Empowerment Program, it could
bring the Foundation to a level of stability and to be
able to build up resources capable of meeting its own
responsibility to support the needs of the scholars until
they reach the end line of their pursuit to have better
opprotunity in life due to good education.
