讓教育真正延續的，不只是資源，更是社區自己前進的力量。
在菲律賓夏爾高島（Siargao Island），許多孩子每天必須跨越海洋才能到學校；島嶼之間的交通限制，也讓學習資源取得更加不易。面對這些由地理環境與資源差距形成的教育挑戰，飛雁與國際教育非營利組織「遠山呼喚（Calls Over Ridges）」攜手合作，推動 《Calls Over Ridges X Sports City | 2025 Education Program》，從閱讀、交通與營養三個面向，回應當地孩子的學習與成長需求。
這項合作的核心，不只是提供資源，更是讓社區逐步建立自己延續專案的能力。遠山呼喚長期採取以社區為先的方式，透過在地諮詢與共同規劃，與地方議會、教師及家長一起了解需求、設計方案，讓教育支持真正貼近島嶼社區的生活。
本次合作聚焦三項行動：
閱讀素養專案 Literacy Enrichment Program
於 Anajawan 建置 Creative Library Space，提供書籍、筆電、投影機與 Wi-Fi 等學習資源，為孩子打造安全且多元的閱讀與學習空間。同時發展融入在地文化的教材，包括《Sailing Stories with Dandoy》，讓孩子透過故事開啟想像與學習，也讓閱讀成為社區共享的學習經驗。
校船專案 School Boat Bus Program
受到嚴重颱風影響，島際交通中斷，孩子跨海上學也因此面臨更多困難。專案提供專用校船，協助偏遠島嶼學童安全往返鄰近島嶼上課，重新建立穩定的就學交通。正如飛雁 ESG Team Lead Sasaya 所分享：「校船不只是交通工具，更是一座載著孩子通往知識、航向希望與未來的橋樑。」
營養午餐專案 Nutrition Program
於 San Mateo 建立結合家長培力與兒童健康的自主運作模式。透過婦女烹飪實習，依照當地飲食習慣設計營養餐點，並共同發展在地食譜書《GANA SA Isla》，讓家長的技能與參與轉化為支持孩子健康成長的力量。
此外，拜訪夏爾高群島時，得知孩子們日常使用的餐具多為二手的一次性餐具，額外捐贈台灣製造的餐盒，改善孩子的用餐環境，從營養到日常所需，陪伴孩子健康成長。
2025 年 6 月 28 日，飛雁與遠山呼喚在 General Luna 的 Anajawan 與 Mam-on 舉行成果移交活動，正式將校船、Creative Library Space 及相關教育資源交由當地領袖管理。這代表的不只是專案的完成，更是社區開始接手，讓已建立的資源與能力持續運營的里程碑。
延續董事長 Gary 的理念：「教育，是連結希望的起點，也是改變未來的力量。」飛雁相信，教育的力量，能為孩子打開更多可能，而真正長久的改變，來自社區自己擁有延續它的能力。未來，我們也將持續以行動，讓教育連結更多希望，為孩子打開更多可能性。
From Resources to Resilience: Building Sustainable Education on Siargao Island
For children living across Siargao’s remote island communities, going to school can mean crossing the sea. Limited access to transportation and learning resources can make education a daily challenge. To help address these barriers, Sports City partnered with Calls Over Ridges Philippines on the Calls Over Ridges X Sports City | 2025 Education Program, supporting local communities through three education initiatives.
The partnership was grounded in a community-first approach—working with local leaders, teachers, and parents to develop solutions that respond to local needs and can continue within the community.
Literacy Enrichment Program
In Anajawan, we established a Creative Library Space equipped with books, laptops, a projector, and Wi-Fi, creating a safe and engaging environment for children to read and learn. The program also introduced locally rooted learning materials, including The Sailing Stories of Dandoy, using storytelling to spark children’s imagination and curiosity.
School Boat Bus Program
Severe typhoon damage disrupted local transportation and made it more difficult for children to travel to school. The program provided a dedicated school boat, helping students safely travel between islands and restoring a more reliable connection to education. As Sports City ESG Lead Sasaya shared, “The school boat is more than a means of transportation—it is a bridge connecting students to the knowledge and future they deserve.”
Nutrition Program
In San Mateo, the program connected parent empowerment with child health through culinary training and a community-managed catering model. Profits from the initiative are reinvested into free nutritious lunches for schoolchildren, while GANA sa Isla, a community-developed cookbook, brings local food knowledge into the program.
On June 28, 2025, the projects were formally turned over to local leaders in General Luna. More than the completion of a project, the milestone marked the beginning of community-led continuity.
As President Gary shared, “Education is where hope begins — and how we shape the future.”
At Sports City, we believe lasting change begins when communities have the ability to carry it forward. Through continued action, we will keep supporting education and opening new possibilities for children around the world.
