Tagalog word for goal, wish, or desire.
Our organization assists community efforts to allow Filipinos build and empower themselves so that they might live out their own goals, wishes and desires. We have been actively working in the Philippines and Canada since 1985.
Our mission is to raise awareness and support for the needs of communities in the Philippines. We do this by engaging with communities in Canada through organizing activities and events that address issues that affect them—such as immigration, anti-racism, and affordability—while creating opportunities for networking.
Our vision is to see a community in Canada informed about and engaged in assisting “developing countries” like the Philippines with their needs, especially related to climate change and disaster relief.
