Profile Information

Name
John Piermont Montilla
Organisation
Kabataang Gabay sa Positibong Pamumuhay (KGPP), Inc.
About Me:
Humans are born incomplete, we are One with the Universe and through birth we became fragments and we are lost. To be complete is to journey in finding and connecting Truth fragmented in all creation. The Earth has enough bounty to fill those who have scarcity and humans receive life because they learn to give life. We share what gave life to us and give life to others. It is in giving that we become empty and receive new things and giving a part of what made us whole is what makes us complete
My dream:
Funding partners and BIG NGOs handling money of donors will someday realize that WE are driven by our DREAMS and not by the money of DONORS. We do not deserve to be labeled donor-driven! and we should be respected since our effort, sweat, and lives has been risked so that their money will go to the interest of ALL STAKEHOLDERS
My concern:
ALL stakeholders - governments, civil society, private sector, United Nations, donors among others - must be held accountable in their response to AIDS, and that in doing so, mutual accountability must be ensured. It is imperative that civil society organizations consult with and report back to their constituencies and be accountable to the communities they serve***. My concern is: THIS IS NOT HAPPENING current wisdom on accountability seem to be a requirement to small NGOs, CSOs and community-based organizations and exclusive toward donor's money and that of primary recipients.

Dear John ,

Thank you for encouraging comments and sharing your wonderful experience . I have gone through your profile and I appreciate your thinking about the funding agencies . I agree that the word WIP is more sensitive in comparision to CSW (commercial sex workers) and we should stop putting such labels if we really want to work for their upliftment and mainstreaming .

Thanks once again ....
Be in touch .................All The Best with the wonderful movements being led by You !!
