From 27 September to 09 October, a group of 26 students and 4 staff from Oakhill College in Sydney brought their Lasallian spirit to the Philippines for their annual Lasallians Without Borders Trip!
Their two-week journey was filled with meaningful encounters and joyful moments, as they immersed themselves in the vibrant communities of Bacolod. They spent most of their time visiting different La Salle schools and ministries, volunteering, and building connections with the residents of Bahay Pag-Asa Youth Center. One of the highlights was working on the newly established plant nursery, made possible through the generous support of the Lasallian Foundation in Australia.
The group also rolled up their sleeves for house building in Gawad Kalinga, a partner community of De La Salle University–Dasmariñas. In between their service activities, they visited De La Salle University and La Salle Green Hills, and took part in enriching cultural experiences—including a tour of Intramuros, a city tour of Bacolod, and the lively Masskara Fun Run, where they proudly wore masks they designed themselves!
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the Brothers and Partners who warmly welcomed and supported the group throughout their trip.
