Opening doors

In the case of MOGCHS, the school now has the two computer labs, each housing 20 PCs, some of which were acquired by the school itself through rather interesting means.

The school was able to buy a few PCs after winning a contest sponsored by manufacturing firm Unilever Corp., which entailed collecting the most number of 'sachets' from various products. After collecting a P100,000 (US$1,955) cash prize, school officials promptly decided to buy more PCs.
