Benefit Lunch and Thanksgiving Celebration for Scholarships and Kitchen Laboratory Upgrading
For forty years, Anihan Technical School has been a beacon of hope for young women seeking education, dignity, and a brighter future. Established in 1986 as a project of the Foundation for Professional Training, Inc. (FPTI), the institution has dedicated itself to providing technical-vocational education and livelihood opportunities to women from less-privileged communities.

Through the years, Anihan has transformed countless lives by equipping students with practical skills, strong values, and the confidence needed to succeed in the hospitality and food service industries.
Celebrating Four Decades of Service
To celebrate this meaningful milestone, the school will hold “A Benefit Lunch and Thanksgiving Celebration – ANIHAN @40!” on 7th of June, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM (Philippine Time) at The Palms Country Club. Carrying the inspiring theme, “A Milestone of Harvesting Dreams,” the event is envisioned as both a celebration of gratitude and a fundraising initiative that will continue Anihan’s mission of empowering women through education and training.
More than a simple anniversary gathering, the event highlights four decades of dedication to service, compassion, and community-building. It recognizes the students whose dreams were made possible through education, the alumni who have gone on to build successful careers, and the generous partners, donors, and organizations who have supported the school’s programs over the years. The celebration also serves as an opportunity to strengthen partnerships and encourage more individuals to help change lives through educational support.
Supporting Scholarships and Better Learning Facilities
One of the primary goals of the Benefit Lunch is to raise funds for scholarship programs that will allow deserving young women to pursue technical-vocational education despite financial challenges. Many students who enter Anihan come from economically disadvantaged families, and scholarships provide them with the opportunity to gain industry-ready skills that can lead to stable employment and self-reliance. Through these programs, the school continues to uphold its advocacy of empowering women and helping them rise above poverty.

Another important focus of the fundraising initiative is the upgrading of Anihan’s kitchen laboratory facilities. Since culinary education relies heavily on hands-on learning, modern, well-equipped training laboratories are essential to preparing students for real-world industry standards. Improving these facilities will enhance the quality of instruction and ensure that students receive practical experience that meets the demands of today’s hospitality and culinary industries.
Anihan Technical School has long been recognized for its commitment to excellence in hospitality education. The institution offers training programs in culinary arts, bread and pastry production, cookery, and food and beverage services. Accredited by government agencies responsible for technical education and skills development, the school combines professional training with values formation, discipline, and leadership development. Beyond technical competence, Anihan seeks to mold women who are responsible, confident, and capable of contributing positively to society.
A Celebration of Hope and Gratitude
The upcoming celebration will also reflect the spirit of thanksgiving for the countless blessings and achievements the institution has experienced throughout its 40-year journey. Guests attending the event in smart casual attire can expect a meaningful afternoon filled with fellowship, inspiration, and shared commitment to Anihan’s mission. The event theme, “A Milestone of Harvesting Dreams,” symbolizes the fruits of years of hard work, perseverance, and dedication—not only from the institution itself but also from every student whose life has been transformed through education.

Supporters who wish to participate in the advocacy may contribute through donations to the school’s fundraising campaign. Donations will directly help sustain scholarship opportunities and improve the school’s training facilities, allowing future generations of students to benefit from quality education and skills training.
As Anihan celebrates forty years of service, the institution continues to prove that education remains one of the most powerful tools for transformation. Through the collective support of communities, partners, and advocates, Anihan Technical School moves forward with renewed commitment to empowering women, nurturing dreams, and building brighter futures for generations to come.
