Last April 13, HP Philippines and Microsoft teamed up to bring hope through technology to street educators and street children beneficiaries of Childhope Philippines. Focusing on technology in education, the two tech giants joined forces to conduct an educational training on Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, which was held at the Asian Social Institute in Manila City.
This educational training aimed to empower the street educators and street children beneficiaries of Childhope Philippines by providing them with the necessary skills to use Microsoft 365 tools effectively. Over 12 street educators and 19 street children attended the training, which offered them a chance to improve their knowledge of using Microsoft Word and PowerPoint.
Using Microsoft 365 tools, the training session focused on enhancing the participants’ school projects, work presentations, or reports. These essential skills will enable the street educators and street children to create more professional and visually appealing documents, which can significantly impact their future academic and career prospects.

Why Technology in Education is Important
This initiative underscores the value of technology in education. Many experts in the field see new technologies as powerful tools that can be of great assistance to educators to meet the needs of a diverse student population, including street children.
By using digital devices, educational software, and learning platforms, educators can more effectively tailor their lesson plans based on the strengths and weaknesses of each individual student. This, in turn, can result in a more optimal learning for every child.
Indeed, the partnership between HP Philippines and Microsoft demonstrates their commitment to social responsibility by supporting Childhope Philippines’ mission to uplift the lives of street children. Through this collaboration, they are bringing hope and opening up opportunities for the less fortunate members of our society by integrating technology in education.
