Calantas folks residing in the San Francisco Bay Area and those residing
across the country are invited to join the crusade of CYDF USA in helping
to address abject poverty in the rural areas across global spectrum, esp. in
the Philippines. The Foundation is trying to knock at the door of the Calantas
Folks and hopefully, they will open their hearts and welcome the very rare
opportunity to join the rest of us in trying to help our indigent but deserving
talented youths help them help themselves through a Scholarship Project
Model of the Community Youth Leadership and Empowerment Program.
This invitation is also open to any non-Calantas resident who believes in
what we are trying to do and accomplish.
It I were to paint a picture of the Scholarship Project Model being initiated
in Barrio Calantas and Nabuclod (when feasible), here is how it looks:

It I were to paint a picture of the Scholarship Project Model being initiated
in Barrio Calantas and Nabuclod (when feasible), here is how it looks:
- The target beneficiaries of the Scholarship Project in Calantas are the
top five (5) graduating 6th grade elementary students and for Nabuclod,
the first top three (3) in their respective classes. Nabuclod, however,
has a long way to go cause of some issues affecting the implementation
of the Scholarship Project. Please CLICK HERE to learn more about
the Issues of Implementation in Nabuclod. Therefore, the main focus of
the Foundation in raising needed resources (funding) is geared towards
benefiting mostly, as yet, those youths from Barrio Calantas. - Since 2003, the Foundation has limited itself in opening Scholarship
Grants for the 6th grade First Honor Students only from the Calantas
Elementary School and every year, thereafter, for the past three (3)
years. There are a total of 3 Scholars, so far, in the Scholarship
Project, as of this writing, and their number is getting bigger every year. - All these three (3) Scholars and an additional one every year,
thereafter, are accepted into the Project. This is done on a continuous
basis every year and are awarded the Phase 1: HS Scholarship Grant
of the CYDFI Scholarship Project Model. The main sponsors of the
Phase 1 High School Scholarship Project are Tony/Rita (CYDFI
| Defining the Mission of CYDF USA, Inc. |
Founders) and the Mendoza Family, in honor of their late loved ones, and
named the Grant as: Apung Pio-Posti-Danding High School Scholarship
Grant. However, this Grant doesn't cover Phase 2 and is limited only to the
Phase 1: High School Scholarship Grant. The help is needed when Phase 1
Scholars move on to the Phase 2 of the Scholarship Project Model.

- Dr. H. Mercado and Family have initiated, beginning SY: 2007-2008,
a welcome effort to sponsor ONE SCHOLAR AT A TIME when our
CYDFI Scholars begin to move on to the Phase 2: College Scholarship
Grant of the Scholarship Project Model of the Foundation. Meaning,
the College Scholarship Grant sponsored by the Mercado Family will
only be available for another one after the current scholar shall have
graduated from a four (4/5) year college course. The Mercado Family
christened their sponsorship to the Phase 2 College Scholarship
Project to honor their beloved late parents, thus the name of the
Scholarship Grant is identified as: Teodoro-Fausta Mercado College
Scholarship Grant. - This is where the Foundation is at, right now!.If you take a closer look
at the PROJECTED NEEDS of the Scholarship Project Model, you
will see a very good picture of what I want to paint before you. - Finally, objective #1 of the CYDFI USA mandates the Foundation
towards providing support to the mission of CYDFI Philippines, that is:
- "to empower indigent but deserving talented youths of Calantas
and Nabuclod Aeta Community thru a Scholarship Project Model
of the Community Youth Leadership and Empowerment Program
of the Foundation, with a methodology, called: SWREM Theory
In Action, designed to help them, help them help themselves so
they can help incoming scholars leading to breaking their Cycle
of Poverty, with implications not only to personal but community
growth and development, as they learn to be socially responsible."
