Celebrate 16 meaningful years with the Yellow Boat of Hope Foundation through a heartfelt message from our President and Co-Founder, Dr. Anton Mari H. Lim, our Chief Hope Paddler.

In his message, Dr. Lim reflects on the journey that began with one yellow boat and grew into a movement driven by compassion, bayanihan, and the belief that every Filipino child deserves access to quality education. From reaching children in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas to creating safer pathways to school, each step forward has been made possible by Hope Paddlers, partners, donors, and volunteers who continue to show up for children and families.

This anniversary is an invitation to look ahead with purpose. Together, we can continue creating safer journeys to school, expanding learning opportunities, and helping more children pursue the futures they deserve.

Read the full message and be inspired to join us as we paddle toward a future where every child can thrive.

Let us make the next 16 years even more meaningful, one paddle at a time! 🛶

#𝗛𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗦𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝟯𝟱 𝗛𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝘅𝗲𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗹𝗼𝘀! 🎁🌟

We are delighted to share that 35 Hope Boxes, generously provided by SGV Foundation and filled with essential school supplies, have been successfully handed over to the enthusiastic young learners of Immaculate Conception School of Malolos in Malolos, Bulacan. The school serves students in Malolos City, Bulacan.

For children in underserved communities, items such as pencils, notebooks, and learning kits carry significance beyond their practical use. They nurture imagination, build self-assurance, and equip learners with the tools they need to take part meaningfully in class and pursue their goals. When these basic resources are lacking, students may find it harder to engage fully in their studies. With timely support, their dreams can continue to flourish and take shape.

Our sincere appreciation goes to SGV Foundation for its unwavering dedication to empowering the next generation. Your generosity helps change young lives, widen access to learning opportunities, and open doors to better futures for children and their communities. Through your compassion and continued partnership, we are able to cultivate enduring hope and make education more within reach for those who need it most.

We also thank our Bulacan Lead Implementer, Teacher Reina Valenton, for her commitment and thoughtful coordination, which made the pickup and delivery of these Hope Boxes possible. Your care for the children and schools we serve strengthens this initiative and brings meaningful support to communities that need it most. Indeed, because of you! ⛵

The Yellow Boat of Hope Educational Hub/Learning Center at the Kapunungan sa Gagmay’ng Mangingisda sa Concepcion (KGMC) in Kabasalan, Zamboanga Sibugay, once again became a space where knowledge meets community.

Last week, the E-Hub/Learning Center welcomed 36 Bachelor of Science in Fisheries students and 4 faculty members from Western Mindanao State University – Main Campus (Sindangan Extension) for an experiential learning visit to KGMC, the Oyster Capital of Zamboanga Sibugay.

At the Learning Center, KGMC Chairperson and Ramon Magsaysay Awardee Roberto “Ka Dodoy” Ballon shared practical knowledge on oyster (talaba) farming—turning the hub into a living classroom where students learned directly from the community that sustains it.

More than a venue, the E-Hub/Learning center is a space for training, dialogue, and digital learning. It was built so that fisherfolk, students, and partners can learn from one another. It stands as proof that when communities are equipped with the right tools and opportunities, hope truly sails.

We extend our deep appreciation to our partners whose support helped build the learning center: SWMPI’s SANTA CLARA Plywood for supplying premium wood for our builds; Bosch Philippines for providing durable power tools; Tzu Chi Zamboanga and Tzu Chi Philippines for donating solar panels for the E-Hub; and Yellow Boat of Hope USA for providing the inverter and batteries, as well as the Smart TV that enriches training and digital learning. because of you! ⛵

As we celebrate the Yellow Boat of Hope Foundation’s 16th anniversary, we invite you to watch 𝙏𝙖𝙬𝙞𝙙, an animated film produced by KAA Productions.

Watch here 👉: https://youtu.be/BDhc0wKvraM

For many children in the Philippines’ last-mile communities, going to school means crossing rivers, wading through water, and making the journey alone. Tawid follows two sisters on their daily walk to school, until an encounter with the Yellow Boat of Hope and its Hope Paddlers changes what is possible.

Inspired by the real stories of our adopted schools and communities, Tawid shows how Bayanihan and compassion can transform a difficult crossing into a pathway toward a safer, brighter future.

Created by KAA Productions—Shaila Nathalie Dagoc, Marie Joyce Toledo, Jian Patrick Lobos, Trishanne Valencia, Roan Kyle Santos, and Angelica Zinampan—the film was a culminating project by 4th-year Entertainment and Multimedia Computing students at Holy Angel University’s School of Computing. It was featured at Aninaw: Galaw ng Guniguni, an animation showcase in Angeles, Pampanga.

As we mark this milestone, we celebrate not only 16 years of service, but every child who has crossed a river, taken a boat, or walked a long road to reach a classroom. Watch Tawid and join us in helping every child reach school and reach their dreams. ! ⛵

: The YBH Educational Hub at Famosa Elementary School in Monreal, Masbate is now being used to complement the ARAL Program! 💻🧑‍🏫✨

Students and teachers are actively using the Yellow Boat of Hope Educational Hub, generously donated by the Canva Foundation, as part of the Academic Recovery and Accessible Learning (ARAL) Program. The program supports K–12 learners who need additional help in strengthening foundational literacy and numeracy skills.

The E-hub is equipped with six laptops and a printer with ink. These resources give students and teachers meaningful opportunities to learn, create, collaborate, and strengthen their digital skills in a technology-driven learning environment.

Our E-Hubs serve as spaces where learners can work on school projects, access learning materials, and study together. Teachers also use them to prepare modules, join webinars, pursue professional development, and carry out other learning initiatives. In times of crisis, these hubs can likewise serve as community access points for information, communication, and digital resources.

This milestone reflects our continuing commitment to bring digital learning closer to remote communities and to ensure that learners and educators have access to the tools they need. Thank you, Canva Foundation, for helping make quality education and digital access possible for Filipino children and teachers, wherever they are. because of you! ⛵

Thank you to everyone who joined the Goodera and IBM Career Mentorship Workshop – Student Empower Speed Mentoring Session last October 28, 2026!

We are thrilled to share that a total of 30 students from Guinoman National High School in Diplahan, Zamboanga Sibugay, Kabasalan National High School in Kabasalan, Zamboanga Sibugay, and Old Sagay National High School in Sagay City, Negros Occidental came together to gain real-world career insights from IBM and Goodera professionals.

Sessions like this give students the chance to hear firsthand career stories, ask questions, and learn practical guidance that can help them make informed decisions about college, work, and their future. By connecting with professionals, students gain confidence, broaden their perspectives, and see that meaningful career paths are within their reach.

It was especially inspiring to see the students join the session through the YBH Educational Hubs in their schools, giving them access to valuable learning opportunities and connections beyond their classrooms.

Thank you, Goodera and IBM, for partnering with us to create meaningful opportunities for our students and communities. Together, we continue to empower young Filipinos through education, mentorship, and hope.

We also extend our heartfelt thanks to the dedicated teachers who facilitated the mentoring session and assisted the students throughout its entire duration. Their guidance and support helped make the experience smooth, meaningful, and enriching for every participant. because of you! ⛵
