Project Description: GoG(Gift of Gold) is a CIE program created in coordination with students, parents, and teachers to engage students in an effort to help families in the local community with low socioeconomic status. They are families who are given the opportunity to start a business but dont have the fainancial capacity and lack the skill to run it.

The goal is to educate them on how to run a business and provide them the suffcient capital to start it. The program strongly adheres to school's mission, whch is:

"We transform ordinary individuals to become extraordinary catalysts of social progress through a philosophy of education for leaders anchored on social engagement and the Pearl Principle."

“The Pearl Principle” which espouses the – initiation of change from within and within one’s sphere of influence, by transforming a state of hopelessness into a state of optimism, where opportunities are created as in the creation of a Pearl."
