AS PART of the National Teachers’ Month celebration, a teacher in Tacurong City offered free repair of laptops and gadgets to teachers and students.

Lawrence Aduca introduced his project “AduCares” where he repairs damaged laptops and desktops of private and public school teachers and students.

“Kadalasan ay ako ang tinatakbuhan ng mga kapwa ko guro at maging mga estudyante kapag sila ay nagkakaproblema sa kanilang gadyets dahil sa expertise ko dito,” Aduca said.

After he posted his offer on Facebook, hundreds of teachers and students availed of his service.

As their numbers grew, other ICT teachers volunteered to help.

Aside from gadget repair, Aduca also installs computer applications for free to help in the interactive teaching of teachers using Open Education Resources.

He also provides technical assistance to teachers in remote areas and conducted a virtual consultation via e-message or video call to provide a proper diagnosis on a particular computer problem/error and what to do and how to fix it.

“Kung may pagkakataon tayo na makatulong sa iba ay huwag tayong mag-atubili na gawin ito, maliit na bagay man o malaki ito, para balang araw sila naman ang gagawa nito sa kanilang kapwa,” Aduca said.
