Moving places, passing time, change in
general. Whether the transition is smooth or rocky, both are a part of the
personal journey we each are meant to discover for ourselves. This past year,
transition has been the theme of ANAK’s focus. From the Filipino Youth
Transitions in Canada project, to the ingenious transitions created from scraps
during our annual high school conference, to working with our Kapatid Program
participants transitioning to life in Winnipeg, and to our own transitions as
an organization. All have been a continuous learning experience as we grow and
move forward.

The 2012 ANAK Liwayway Citizenship Book
Award was presented last June at DMCI’s graduation ceremony. Israel Pieda was
awarded for his active volunteerism in our mentorship programs, and an
honourable mention also awarded to Eric Vitug. Congratulations to all of our
recipients!
I find myself saying yet again that it’s
hard to believe another year has passed. I am proud that we as volunteers have
been able to accomplish all that we have. Thank you to all of the supporters
who make everything with ANAK possible. Best wishes for all through the
transition life finds you.
