Delegates from different elementary schools in Aleosan, Cotabato during the opening program of the 2nd Summer Kids Peace Camp in the said municipality.
Thousands of grade five pupils from public and selected private institutions from Pikit, Aleosan, and Magpet, Cotabato attended the 2nd Summer Kids Peace Camp held in their municipalities on March 9-11, March 15-17, and
March 19-21, respectively.
Governor Emmylou “Lala” J. Taliño-Mendoza who started this summer activity for Grade V pupils last year in coordination with the Department of Education and the local government units is both proud and happy to address the children and the teacher-facilitators.
“There should be no discrimination. Everyone has an equal opportunity. No matter what the sexual orientation, tribe or religion. And if you have discipline in your studies, you will go far,” the governor said instilling the value of education and a just society to young Cotabateños in all 3 municipalities.
The lady governor also challenged the future leaders of the province to “put into practice what you learn during this 2nd summer kids peace camp and serve as role models to the younger pupils when you go back to school.”
One big gathering of Muslim, Indigenous People and Christian kids, the 3-day camp teaches the participants leadership skills, encourages involvement in community development, inculcates moral values and introduces the diverse cultures of the tri-people living in the province they were born into and may someday lead.
A total of 25,000 grade five pupils from the 17 municipalities and 1 city of the province including the participants from Antipas, Matalam, M’lang, Kabacan, Pigcawayan, Makilala, Arakan, Tulunan, Carmen, Banisilan, Alamada, Midsayap, Libungan, Pres. Roxas, and Kidapawan City are expected to attend the said event scheduled this March until May.//LAF-IDCD//
