What have we LEARNED from the past?
What is WORTH BRINGING FORWARD?
What kind of CHANGE are we BRINGING FORWARD?
It is there I met tribal Prince Datu Kilala Lanelio Sangcoan from Philippines, young leader in a remote
Philippine community. Lanelio stood out of the Circle with his sharing and Visions ~ but also with the work
he has done so far.
Lanelio was asked by the Philippine Tribal Elders to put up a school in the forest to create
an opportunity for Tribal Children to get education that is an integration of their culture, tradition and
values. With support of Donors Lanelio established HILLTOP TRIBAL SCHOOL OF HOPE which
gives opportunity to educate 218 children on the top of the Mount Malindawag Lubilan, a remote forest
area of Philippines!
HILLTOP
TRIBAL
SCHOOL
helps
children to
engage deeper in
activities
that
bring
sustainable development for Tribal Communities. School runs mainly with help & support of donors.
'If they are educated with the mastery of our culture, we will be
sure that they are walking on the tract for the brighter future of
the communities and they won't be deceived by the outsiders,
but rather be the Catalyst for the Change.'
- Datu Kilala Lanelio Sangcoan
