AHK joins Eid il-fitir al-mubarak 2015

The new Aim High Kabataan Federation Officers through the leadership of AHK Prexy Sid Alao celebrated with our Muslim brothers and sisters in Barangay Tambler as they end Ramadan. Eid al-Fitr or the "Festival of Breaking of the Fast", is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide. 

General Santos City is home to different tribes where people resides in peace and harmony. With a goal of preserving the peace and unity the city is currently enjoying, the Aim High Kabataan initiated a special feeding and merry-making for the Muslims in Barangay Tambler.

The non-Muslims prepared a simple hot meal for our almost 500 Muslim brothers and sisters which was served after their "Eid".

Parlor Games and a Basketball Game was also sponsored by the group.

AHK joined TreeVolution

It's been awhile that the Aim High Kabataan got together to do something worthwhile. As a call for Mindanaons to come together to break the Guinness World Record (GWR) of India –“Most Trees Simultaneously Planted in Multiple Locations", AHK actively answered the call.

 AHK Planters at the Site

On September 26, 2014 around 3 in the morning, thirty-six young and vibrant AHK members trooped to Upper Labay, one of the many locations in Mindanao for the Greening Mindanao activity geared to plant trees and be part of the Mindanao history.

A tiring but very productive activity, the participants need to pass by 5 rivers and has to walk before reaching the exact planting sites. The record will cover approximately 9,272 hectares (500 seedlings/hectare) in all six (6) regions in Mindanao.

 As of 5:00 pm of September 26, 2014, a total of Three Million, Fifty-Eight Thousand, Six Hundred and Twenty Five trees (3, 058, 625), were planted!
