IN A bid to uplift the lives of indigenous people, Mayor Rolando “Klarex” Uy initiated a workshop focused on enhancing their farming skills and financial management abilities.
The workshop, conducted in collaboration with Archbishop Emeritus Antonio J. Ledesma, SSJV, aimed to equip indigenous leaders from eight different locations with valuable knowledge and resources.
By empowering these leaders, the workshop has the potential to create a ripple effect throughout their communities, leading to improved livelihoods and poverty reduction.
Roberto W. Ansaldo, a former influential figure from the Department of Agriculture, delivered a thought-provoking speech at the event, emphasizing the importance of sustainable land utilization.
The participants, many of whom rely on farming as their primary source of income, found Ansaldo's insights particularly valuable.
The workshop not only focused on teaching but also fostered a platform for the indigenous participants to share their experiences and ideas.
This collaborative approach ensures that future plans align with the real needs and aspirations of the people.
Recognizing the limited access of indigenous communities to financial services, the workshop also included sessions on money management, savings, and utilization of financial resources.
By equipping participants with these essential skills, the workshop aimed to address financial challenges and promote economic empowerment.
Mayor Klarex Uy expressed keen interest in sustaining the workshop for the indigenous people, recognizing the significance of these acquired skills, fostering a sense of trust and collaboration.
This workshop marks just one part of Mayor Uy's comprehensive plan to uplift indigenous communities.
With a commitment to organizing more workshops and implementing further initiatives, the mayor envisions continued growth and progress for these marginalized populations.
The success of the workshop was evident in the positive feedback received from participants, who expressed a newfound sense of strength and confidence to effect positive change within their communities.
Mayor Uy's vision of empowerment and upliftment is being realized through these transformative workshops, providing indigenous people with the tools they need to improve their lives and build a brighter future.
