While it has, at times, been difficult to help kids overcome the fear of being different in a culture that values sameness, Hope Philippines staff have been able to use this obstacle to set the centre apart in a good way. The Hope for the Nations Philippines Executive Director, Tancho Baes, has purposely run the centre with a more collaborative style of leadership than would typically be expected of someone in his position. He chooses to lead through inspiration, versus intimidation, and having an adult show genuine interest in their ideas and abilities is incredibly empowering for any child.

This collaborative and empowering leadership style has helped many children feel that they can be bold in other situations, such as their social circles at school. Indeed, the very idea of "Children of Change" is revolutionary. In the Philippines, children would not typically be the ones to introduce change.

These are brave children, willing to disrupt social norms on purpose with the purpose of changing the society around them. Under the care of Tancho and the other staff, these children at risk are becoming Children of Change. If you would like to partner with Tancho, you can do so by. Our scholars are incredible young people. We are continually impressed and inspired by their ability to rise above, despite the challenges they face.

One of these challenges is peer pressure, which is a huge issue facing young people in the Philippines, where emphasis is put on upholding the group values, as opposed to individual expression. For me personally, and perhaps many of us in North America, this concept can be difficult to fully grasp.

One of our particularly bright and dedicated scholars had a difficult choice to make when her friend group began drinking alcohol. At first, she participated in order to not create tension in the group. However, she quickly realised that compromising her personal morals was not worth keeping up appearances or trying to compliment the group mentality.

Alam Mo Ba?

After a short time, she broke the trend of "just going along with it," and chose to tell her mother, God, and the leaders at the Hope House about what she'd been struggling with. We are incredibly inspired by this young woman's bold choice to live authentically and live according to God's word. School can be tough for teens, especially when poverty is also working against them. Jonaline Dagasdas is one of those students.

Jonaline, or Jona, digs deep and finds the resolve, every day, to improve her quiz scores and improve her performance. To do this, she must be courageous and ask her teachers if she needs clarification on parts of the lesson.
