โListening to Youth, Building Futures, Strengthening Communitiesโ
On May 26, 2026, at Danielโs Place, Wao, Lanao del Sur, 20 Indigenous Peoples Youth from various barangays in Wao, Lanao del Sur came together to share their voices, experiences, aspirations, and challenges. This meaningful conversation became a space of hope, solidarity, and vision for stronger communities.
Some participants beautifully expressed:
โNalipay gid kami nga naka-join kami sani nga event! Salamat tungakay!
"Damo gid kami nabal-an kag damo kami na friends"
"Mas na-aware na kami sa gaka-hitabo sa palibot, kag na-share man namon ang amon nga kaagi.โ
