MARAWI CITY, May 19 (PIA) For youth volunteers, teachers, and parents of learners of Guimba Lilod Elementary School, painting murals has been empowering for them to join the community in promoting peace.
Asniah Mauna-Macauyag, a mother of a kinder and grade 1 pupil, said that her desire to be a role model to her children motivated her to participate in the peace mural painting activity. She shared that parents should show their children how to unite with other people in doing activities.
