The Family Farm Schools in the Philippines is really moving forward. Just this month, the NPT visited two new areas where the Family Farm School concept was introduced. Everytime, the visits were characterized by the presence of community leaders from each area wanting to learn more about the FFS system and how it can be introduced in the locality. Below are some snapshots of the meetings and discussions with the groups.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY
The representatives of the Management Council of all the Family Farm Associations in the Philippines convened at Living the Gospel Renewal Center, Banilad, Cebu City last June 18 - 22, 2007 to hold the 2nd FFS Management Councils' Seminar. The activity is a continuation of the first general assembly last November held at TREES, Los Banos Laguna. From that activity came the words:
"SA PAGKAKAISA NATIN MABUBUO ANG ATING KINABUKASAN
SA PAG-ULULUPOD NATON TANAN ATON MATIGAYON ANG ATON
HANDUM SA ATONG BUAS DAMLAG
SA PAGHIU-SA NATO MAKAB-OT ANG ATONG KAUGMAON"
Thus, it set the stage for the 2nd FFS' Management Council Seminar!
PAKSA PLANNING
An important activity in the Family Farm School is the PAKSA planning. Together with the parents of the students, the team of tutors prepare the formation plan for the coming school year. The activity highlights the participation of the parents in the pedagogical aspect of the Family Farm School. It is in the paksa planning that the parents contribute their share in the formative activities of the school.
Below are some pictures of the PAKSA planning conducted in the three (3) newest FFS in the Philippines.
