San Jose de Buenavista in partnership with Synergeia conducted a parent seminar workshop.

Synergeia, the project partner, is a non-government organization committed to be a catalyst of change and enable communities to work together so every child can enjoy his right to quality education and become a better person.


The workshop, with the theme "Wanted: Mabubuting Magulang,"aims to engage parents to work with the government and other organizations so that children can enjoy a good basic education and to foster dialogue between the school, students and parents.
