“How can I make the invisible visible?” My journey with photography began when I asked this question in 2010. In my quest for answers, I found myself in a workshop on personal mastery and societal transformation in Zarraga, Iloilo in 2011. There I met Maya Vandenbroeck and Kate Estember, with whom I shared a common passion: education. Along with the new friendship came an unspoken task for me to See how their brave idea of birthing a school would unfold. About half a year later, the three of us crossed paths again in an early childhood education training in Manila. Another half a year passed and there I was, sitting on a small wooden chair inside a makeshift classroom that resembled a traditional home. Adorned with pastel-dyed curtains, the screen windows allowed soft, natural light to permeate the room. The leaves of a nearby giant mango tree rustled with the comforting Davao breeze. Holding my camera, I waited with the children of the first kindergarten class for Tita Kate to light the candle and begin to tell a story.
