"There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about. - Margaret J. Wheatly

 

We are thrilled, happy and proud of yet another achievement by Pag-asa ng Sitio Bimmangon Association (PSBA)! They have been selected as a beneficiary of the Department of Agriculture (DA) Region 2 of the Mushroom Production Project. What's even more heartwarming is the news that PSBA was selected as the sole participating community-based organization from the whole of the province of Isabela. 


Officially called, "Agri-based Livelihood Training on Mushroom Production", the project started by conducting an onsite training for 45 PSBA participants in Sitio Bimmangon, Cordon, Isabela.

 

As of latest update, 274 fruiting bags have been prepared by PSBA. They have also received the necessary materials from the DA-Reg. 02 like steel drums, plastic, drums, wheelbarrow, shovel, molasses liquid, lime and others.

OPI, together with KAISA Association and Angat Santa Monica Association, were pleased to host seven site visitors from Charles Sturt University, Australia last October 21, 2024. A program was arranged to provide an opportunity for the visitors to learn about social development interventions in the Philippines, specifically in a rural setting. The team was composed of masteral students and professors of social work led by Dr. Manohar Pawar who is also the President of the International Consortium of Social Development or ICSD.

​

The one-day program included an orientation about OPI’s history and a briefer on Participatory Human Development (PHD) Methodology. 


In the communities, the site visitors were able to observe real time meetings of Angat Santa Monica Association in Aliaga, Nueva Ecija and KAISA association in Zaragsosa, Nueva Ecija.
