This coffee table book documents the Likha at Kabuhayan community engagement project, part of the NSTP-CWTS 2 course for BS Tourism students at NU Dasmariñas during AY 2026-2027 Term 1. It is a record of the students' service-learning journey, aimed at empowering women through livelihood skills.
The book opens with messages from the NSTP director Mr. Manuel J. Logatoc and coordinator Ms. Teresa R. Arsolon, reflecting on the value of community service and student growth. It then lists the project team members, including leaders, documentation, finance, and logistics heads.
The core of the project, Likha at Kabuhayan, is a basic entrepreneurship program. Participants learned costing, budgeting, pricing, and expense management. They received starter packs for making dishwashing liquid and fuzzy-wire keychains, along with food donations.
The table of contents outlines chapters that follow the project's progression: choosing the community, understanding needs through listening, and planning service through collaboration. The book uses photographs and narratives to show the activities and experiences of the participants.
This document serves as a reflective and celebratory record of the students' work, highlighting the importance of skills, opportunities, and community support in creating meaningful impact.
