“Where heroes are made not by magical abilities or costumes, but by being human. Stepping up to help time after time, after time, with grit and compassion, without superpowers at all. Because they’re not the heroes of some fictional world. They’re the real-life heroes of ours.”

A ‘??-???????? ??? ??????? ??????????? ????????????? ????? ??? ??? ??????’ activity last August 12-14 was conducted by our ProACT team in order to lay-down all project accomplishments and to determine points of collaboration for pending deliverables as way of transitioning to normal programming. The first stage is to consult the Municipal Technical Working Groups of the four covered municipalities in Davao de Oro.
ProACT is a consortium project implemented by Action Against Hunger Philippines and Fundación CODESPA, with funding from the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID Philippines).
