Seminar on Cooperatives


Essential to the work of empowering communities is a basic know-how on cooperatives, which is why the SHEC staff equipped themselves with the ins-and-outs of cooperatives through a seminar which was held at the SHEC office. Said seminar was facilitated by Professor Zandro of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines. Needless to say, cooperatives are ways of going back to the spirit of equality and equity practiced by the first Christians (see Acts 2: 43-47). (September 24, 2008)
