From creating heartfelt kindness cards for hospital patients to writing thank-you cards for our amazing frontliners, we’re spreading love and gratitude wherever we can. And that’s not all—we came together for a school community clean-up drive, making our environment cleaner and greener! Watch how these small acts of kindness are making a BIG difference.

At The Philippine Global School, we’ve learned that education isn’t just about books and exams—it’s also about heart. This year, as part of our #ServiceLearning journey, we’ve stepped into something much deeper than academics. We’ve learned what it truly means to give back, to care, and to be part of something bigger than ourselves.

Through our various community outreach programs, we’ve had the chance to meet people from different walks of life. We’ve listened to their stories, shared moments of laughter and kindness, and realized how even small acts can make a big difference. Whether it was preparing food packs, visiting labor camps, writing thank-you cards, or leading school-wide health awareness campaigns, each activity taught us something new—not just about others, but about ourselves.

We’ve seen that giving back isn’t about how much you have—it’s about how much love you give. It’s about showing up, lending a hand, and being present for someone else. We felt it in the smiles of the workers who received our care kits, in the grateful eyes of teachers who read our appreciation letters, and in the silence of a moment shared with someone who just needed to be seen.

These experiences helped us understand the true meaning of community care. It’s not about grand gestures—it’s about showing kindness where it’s needed, offering time, respect, and understanding. It’s about doing the right thing, not for attention, but because it’s what humanity calls for.

And more than anything, this journey has filled us with gratitude. We are thankful for the opportunities we have, for the guidance of our teachers, and for the chance to use our voices and actions for good. Gratitude has opened our hearts—and from that, kindness flows.

As we continue growing, we carry these lessons with us. We hope to inspire others to look around, reach out, and remember that every hand can help, every voice can comfort, and every heart can heal.

Nurturing Growth, Sharing Abundance: TPGS’s Garden to Give Initiative

#GivingBack #CommunityCare #FreshProduce #ServiceLearning #SustainableLiving #Gratitude

At The Philippine Global School (PGSI), we believe that education goes beyond the classroom—it extends to the community, to the environment, and to the people around us. This year, we are thrilled to share an inspiring initiative that combines our love for learning with our desire to give back: The Garden to Give.

The idea was simple but powerful: to grow fresh produce on our school grounds and donate it to those in need. What started as a class project has blossomed into a full-fledged initiative, where students, teachers, and staff work together to plant, nurture, and harvest vegetables, herbs, and fruits. These nutritious goods are then donated to local charities and families in the community.

Growing for a Purpose
With the support of our teachers, the initiative began with a group of students eager to put their gardening skills to use. What they didn’t expect was how much this project would teach them—not only about planting and sustainability but also about the deep impact of giving.

Every seed sown, every plant watered, and every fruit harvested is a step toward creating something greater than ourselves. The process of growing fresh produce became a hands-on lesson in responsibility, patience, and teamwork. But the real reward comes from seeing the fruits of our labor used to help others.

Sharing Fresh, Local Produce
The fresh vegetables, herbs, and fruits we grow are donated to local families, food banks, and charities who may not have access to such healthy options. In a world where food security is an ongoing challenge for many, the Garden to Give initiative is a way for us to make a direct impact in our community. It’s not just about the food—it’s about nourishing both the body and the spirit.

A Lesson in Sustainability and Gratitude
By taking part in this initiative, we are learning valuable lessons about sustainability, the environment, and the importance of healthy eating. The garden teaches us how interconnected we all are, and how small, thoughtful actions can make a difference.

But perhaps the greatest lesson of all is gratitude. As we harvest the fruits and vegetables that have flourished under our care, we are reminded of the abundance we often take for granted. We learn to appreciate the effort behind every meal, the love that goes into growing food, and the importance of sharing with others.

Looking Ahead: Growing More Than Just Plants
As we move forward with the Garden to Give initiative, we are excited to expand it even further. Our goal is not just to donate food but to create a culture of sustainability, generosity, and community care within our school. We hope that this project will inspire others to look for ways they, too, can give back to the world around them.

At TPGS, we are proud of what we’ve accomplished so far, and we look forward to continuing this journey of growth, service, and giving. Because at the end of the day, the best way to show our gratitude is by sharing the fruits of our labor with those who need it most.

Together, we grow. Together, we give.
