Hope for the Future 96 2 St. Francis of Assisi Poverello His Christian Charism & Spirituality are the inspirations of our foundation. The founders of ADF established the organization upon the inspirations that the life of St. Francis of Assisi had on them. They were motivated by the simple yet effective power of Christian service that the venerable saint gave in his lifetime, especially towards the poorest of the poor; and all for the love of Christ. This same spirit would guide Assisi in its formative years as it pursued the mission of serving others with a faith that brought about justice in the lives of people and society. This approach to development work gradually became the very heart of Assisi. 3 OUR PARTNERS IN MISSION INTERNATIONAL Apostolate for Family Consecration Australian AID Canadian International Development Agency Canadian Mission Administered Fund Catholic Organization for Relief and Development Cross Catholic Outreach Feed My Starving Children Feed the Children Philippines, Inc.

  • AMBASSADOR HOWARD DEE: Building Bridges for the Lumads by Mr
    AMBASSADOR HOWARD DEE: Building Bridges for the Lumads By Mr. Joey Silva, under the supervision of Prof. Ernesto D. Garilao A study of bridging leadership in Philippines produced in cooperation with the Asian Institute of Management 2002 Ambassador Howard Dee “When we visited Mindanao at that time, you could see in the affected areas, everything was brown, nothing green. And in some areas, even the bark of the trees were stripped for food. There was nothing. All over, the earth was parched and cracked all over the agricultural lands. And it being a largely agricultural area, there was nowhere for the people to go. They had to be fed.” - Ambassador Howard Dee referring to the effects of the El Niño phenomenon of 1998. Introduction Much like Mindanao to the rest of the Philippines, the Indigenous People (IP) of Mindanao have been left out from much of the development activities in their region. Until today, the IPs there have been much deprived of the fruits of development that are being enjoyed by many of the other peoples of Mindanao. In 1998, the El Niño phenomenon again struck the Philippines badly affecting Mindanao and, more significantly, the life of the already deprived IPs living there. A multi-sectoral coalition was formed to attempt to address the needs of the IPs. This coalition was formed by Ambassador Howard Dee and is still very much active in the development of the IPs in Mindanao to this day. The State of the Indigenous People of Mindanao For many generations, the Lumads (the indigenous people of Mindanao) have been living off the land.
