“I am a child of the sugarcane farm. With both parents being farm laborers, I awaken into a thousand dawns of dull shaded working clothes and ripe green sugarcane blades. We toiled on the soil and waited for a cycle of seasons. But we never settled there. We are moved to aspire beyond the sugarcane stalks. Our parents taught us to embrace adversities. After all, poverty is a means for living, not a reason for self-pity.”
“As the eldest of four siblings, I gladly assumed the vital role of helping my parents raise our family. I knew that education was my key for unlocking possibilities. I finished high school as batch Valedictorian and earned my bachelor’s degree as Cum Laude. These I acquired through the road SIFI paved for me.”
“My job is to harness the potential of the youth in building stable sugar farm communities through technical skills and competence.”
