Representatives from the Guild of Advocates for Humanity's Optimal Mending (GAHOM) were also present and have actively participated, Julieann Ofonda as a participant, and Wissam S. Datumulok as a Peace Building Work Sharer.
In Wissam's sharing, he gave clarification on the realities of youth advocates who are balancing both their studies and advocacy engagements, he also have shared an experience where his expertise and his affiliation with his academic program had once contributed into the well-being of a community. Julie then expressed her utmost gratitude for the previous generation of peace builders for being the pioneers of the very platform that the young advocates are utilizing.
Organizations worthy of appreciation for their involvement in this event are RECPASSI, LAFCCOD, LAHRA, TRIPOD, MTWRC, and KAAGAPAY OFW, for facilitating the invitations. The event concluded with the hope that the new generation of peace builders could continue what the previous one had started, and that they could expand the niche of what peace building could actually be by bringing in innovative ideas.
