We are thrilled to extend an invitation to you to participate in our annual Filipino-American Magkaisa High School Conference to be held October 19, 2024, at Sweetwater High School.
Our theme this year is Kapwa: The Self in Others. "Kapwa" embodies shared identity, recognizing interconnectedness, mutual respect, and empathy, highlighting the self’s connection with others in Filipino culture. In "Kapwa," the boundaries between self and others blur, creating a sense of shared humanity and collective well-being, essential for harmonious relationships and community life.
