PTC-CSJ Foundation successfully completed the 2018 implementation of My Ship, My World (MSMW) following a six-week program and a three-week pilot run. The initiative reached 10 public elementary schools in Muntinlupa and Malabon, fostering maritime awareness among the youth.
Throughout the program, the Masters of 36 ships from 12 PTC Principals exchanged weekly emails with partner-teachers. A total of 44 teachers participated by integrating the Captains' weekly updates and insights into their Math, Science, English, and Social Studies lessons.

Almost 10,000 students in Grades 4 to 6 benefited from the program, learning about geography, global trade, and life at sea. Evaluation results showed overwhelming success, with 93% of teachers and 90% of Captains rating their overall experience as either Excellent or Very Good.
The program continues to inspire both educators and seafarers. As one participating Captain shared, "It has been a great experience participating in the Program knowing that we can inspire by sharing what we do onboard." MSMW remains a vital part of the global Adopt-A-Ship Program implemented in various countries including Poland, India, Greece, and Cyprus.
