Woven Dreams - YGoal

Reflections from Voice Marie Yasmin Piscano, Manager, Voice Philippines

The Linking and Learning is similar to a lighthouse which is stationary but guides and saves a lot of boats by just being there. Just like how Linking and Learning operated during the time of the pandemic, which remains steady and continues to encourage more grantees to be productive and learn new things, making the Pathways a meaningful process. There have been a lot of activities in the several pathways which I hope will harvest a lot of outcomes for the grantees and become relevant even after the pandemic. I also appreciate that the pathways are tailor-fit to the needs of the grantees. I would like to congratulate YGOAL and its collaborators on making sure that the grantees are at the heart of what we are doing. They are not just learning; they are also contributing to how we define these advocacies. I really appreciate how valuable this process is and how you put value in your experience as you journey the pathways.

It is really by learning and doing that you get to understand better. There is still a lot to learn from all the Voice L&L Pathways which is to empower, to amplify, and to influence. But I am happy to hear how we have grown to know better about those. We did not want this situation (the pandemic). It would have taken a different route if the context were different. But in any case, all the Pathways are very helpful because in one way or another, it could have been the track along the way, such as the new normal training and delivery, because of how fast-paced things are. And in terms of digital safety and security, even if things are better, we are advancing digitally very quickly, and all these things are highly relevant no matter what the context is. I really appreciate how we put value in the experience in the journeys of pathway which is the way forward, as with the first three pathways, I hope it grows into something deeper.
