AKASHA's 3rd Outreach to Philippines>> We knew that we have different stories but same aim; to discover our self, this will not end here, this is only the beginning of our own journey that we can call our own story that we can be proud of.

AKASHA's Outreach to Philippines>> Nandor set a date after 6 months and PROMISED he would be back to do a follow up training. Still, we didn’t put our hopes up too much. Considering finances, possible conflict in schedule, it was more than enough that he came here as a Volunteer for our first taste of the IGP training, it would be abuse to ask for more.Where in the world can we find actual people who offer full support without asking for anything in return? Its simply too good to be true…isn’t it?

AKASHA's Outreach: Training in the Philippines>> The participants were trained by Nandor Lim and his wife Weny, who both came all the way from Malaysia. This was a commitment the wonderful couple gave as their support to the IOFC Pagadian Team, particularly the IGP Learning Community. With them, were Paul Fam and Ben Ang who came all the way from IOFC-AKASHA Learning Community in Malaysia to join this program. The learning process among the participants was tremendous and abrupt. The approach was subtle yet educational, restricted yet intellectual.
