While the DAUSA Medical Team and local volunteers were busy at the hospital, the DAUSA Educational Mission Team led by Marieta Palos, made its first appearance and distributed books, school supplies to several elementary schools and barangay high schools. Suba High School got a TV set, VCR and also a medical first aid cabinet which DAUSA Board of Trustee Nick Gonzalez committed to supply to this particular school.

The Educational Mission was then made a component of the annual DAUSA Medical Mission. With Marieta Palos visiting barrio elementary schools were Grace Ypil of Chicago, Emma Duterte from Australia and Candy Canga of Modesto, California.

The 3-day medical-surgical and educational mission has been videotaped with Candy Canga experty acting as reporter.

Adopt-a-Student Project is one major association project that is aggressively being pursued by Candy Canga and Martinette Dayondon, two very active and supportive DAUSA officers, assigned to manage the project.

The principal of the five barangay high schools in Danao were asked to identify poor and deserving students desiring to pursue college education at the Cebu State College of Science and Technology - Danao City Campus. DAUSA Members who had volunteered to participate in the projet adopt and support these students for the 4-year period of college, paying .00 per year for each student.
