Nothing is impossible with God!

We are dreamers and have big aspiration as a group. The young members of the group will be the future cultural teachers of our Tboli Cultural Training Center . We wanted our culture flourish and nurtured so that we will not become a diminishing tribe. We believe that nothing is impossible with our faith in God and that we can also share our Tboli culture not just in the Philippines but even abroad where we can get invited.
As a result of our participation to different events (local and hopefully international), we pray that our story will be given attention and some kind-hearted people or even organizations will be touched to partner with us and help us realize our goals:
1. Build the first Tboli Cultural Training Center in Sarangani Province - It is DONE as of January 28, 2014! Take a look at photos below.
2. Help us in buying our costumes or sponsor materials used for our costumes
3. Sponsorship or scholarship grant to our young members as the future leaders of our tribe

Our Training Center
With the financial help of Capiora Angola Ecamar Philippines, we were able to buy materials to construct our training center that also serves as a School of Living Tradition site for the Tboli tribe in Sarangani Province. The construction was done thru Bayanihan by some supporters available to do the needed labor force for the Center. The Center was inaugurated last January 28, 2014. Click here for news release.
We are honored to have the presence of former Maitum Mayor Elsie R. Perrett, the Region 12 Tourism Council Chairperson Ms. Michelle Lopez Solon, and other local community leaders.
Having a nice Tboli house designed cultural training center helps us achieve the following objectives:
1. to have a decent place to accommodate all Lemuhen Culltural Dance Troupe members and even guests,
2. to have a permanent storage for our musical instruments, costumes and other dance troupe cultural properties,
3. to serve as our training center for the skills transfer (School of Living Tradition) of traditional Tboli performing arts thru dance, drama, songs, folklore, etc. and
4. to preserve cultural documentation of the Tboli tribe in Sarangani Province.
