People take the lead role

From the Old Testament- Jethro to Moses:


Wouldn’t it be better if we would have a
leader for 5 people, for ten, for twenty, for 50
or a hundred?
FOR ANGELITO MANALILI, COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION IS CULTURALLY
ROOTED. IT MUST RESPECT THE VALUES OF THE PEOPLE.

– Preliminary social analysis- way of life, customs and
traditions, religion, livelihood, primary problems
– Plan how enter community (contact person, place
to stay, who will introduce you to the others, invite
you to community activities)
– No “grandstanding” (low profile)
– Adapt clothing and manners to local people
2. Integrating with people (from stranger to feeling one
with the community, you become one among them)

the household chores with sincerity)

traditional meeting

problem and are willing to act and be committed to the cause of the
poor
