YOUTH. A word that is more loaded? It resonates with infinite potential. Get to know the youth better and you will discover that they are our pride and joy. They are bright and full of optimism; a brand-new day embodied. They see the world with fresh eyes. How they are now and what they do can make a lot of difference in our society. If properly directed, they are the trailblazers of today. Society’s hope. Protagonists of the future. Catalysts of progress. Aware of their real worth, the youth is a worthwhile investment. This reality and the inspiring words of Saint Josemaria “Don’t let your life be sterile. Be useful. Blaze a trail. Shine forth with the light of your faith and of your love” (The Way, no. 1) brought about the birth of Kalinangan Youth Foundation, Inc. (KALFI).

There is so much that the young people can do. They are full of energy. They look at the future with so much hope. They are just waiting to be given the opportunities. KALFI believes in them and aims to help them to make a difference.
