Teacher Robert's online tutorials even follow the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) under the curriculum of the Department of Education (DepEd). This was made possible under the guidance of Mrs. Hergielyn M. Gaca of DepEd San Juan.
With the assistance of San Juan City Jail Warden Jose Marie Sabeniano, they also made the initiative more special by also distributing school supplies to the children's homes.
"Iyong sense of purpose nya, nakita nya sa loob ng kulungan. na kahit nakakulong, magagawa pa rin natin makabuluhan ang buhay habang may natutulungan," Sabeniano said the initiative has helped both the inmates and also the students.
