About Lauan Study Center and the FarmCamps

Lauan Study Center provides wholistic personal and social formation to male university  students. Established in the early 1970s by the Philippine Foundation for Culture and Education Development, Inc., the Center gives formative activities to help high school and university students acquire a solid character filled with values and concern for the poor. The Center fulfills its goals by giving classes on human and social virtues, study habits and group studies; organizing lectures and workshops with leaders from the industry and academe and community service projects; and offering personal mentoring from a trained staff.

Lauan offers a quiet study room, tutorial rooms, and a chapel. There is also a resident Catholic chaplain who offers spiritual guidance and the sacraments to those who want to receive them.

Lauan does not have any membership fees although donations are always welcome. Students may freely use the study room and attend the classes and lectures and forums.

The farmcamp is an annual community service project begun in 2000. It forges effective social concern among volunteers, mainly  university students, by helping the farm schools improve the quality of their facilities. The volunteers engage in small repairs and teach students (children of farmers where the school is located) Math and English.
