Zion Students Give Back to MGCNLCA Through Fundraising Projects
Zion students from the Accountancy, Business, and Management, and Humanities and Social Sciences Strands hosted two fundraising projects for MGC New Life Christian Academy’s (MGCNLCA) Alabang campus through their Business Ethics and Social Responsibility (BESR) class.
Operation: I Louvre You
The first project, Operation: I Louvre You, was a museum heist-themed escape room held at MGCNLCA on April 11.
In groups of five, 42 participants were given one hour to work through puzzles, avoid guards, and collaborate to retrieve a stolen artifact across the fifth to seventh floors of the school.
The event featured two categories. The Daytime Heist served as the regular mode, where five groups competed for a P4,000 cash prize. Meanwhile, the remaining four groups participated in the Nighttime Heist, which offered a prize of P6,000 for the winning team.
“I hope this escape room project serves as a platform for students to apply critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Solving puzzles and analyzing clues are essential abilities relevant in today’s status quo, where misinformation and disinformation can easily mislead those who do not evaluate information carefully,” stated Project Manager Bianca Iyesha Sy.
On The Green: New Life Open
The first-ever On The Green: New Life Open was a golf tournament hosted at Eastridge Golf Club, Rizal last April 13, featuring an 18-hole course with 102 players.
A total of 20 awards were given to the top performers across varying flights and categories.
Project Manager Kenzo Maverrick Chua said, “This is more than just a class project. On The Green is an expression of gratitude and service, our way of giving back to the community that shaped who we are today.”
He shared the team’s hopes that the project would contribute to the continued growth and development of MGCNLCA’s Alabang Campus, helping create opportunities and a stronger foundation for future generations of students.
BESR teacher Daniel Dionisio Jr. envisions these projects to “develop a culture of generosity and community-building.” Furthermore, he hopes that through these initiatives, Zion students “understand the dynamics and skills of working harmoniously in a team with varied strengths and differences.”
