EDUCATION, RELIEF, AND COMMUNITY CARE


Adhika’s workshop offerings are designed to build community, celebrate Filipino heritage, and foster empowerment through culturally rooted learning experiences. From Arnis (Filipino Martial Arts) workshops that explore historical significance, self-defense, and trauma-informed movement, to wellness workshops that help Filipino newcomers to Canada connect, find support, and thrive in a new environment, these programs blend cultural education with personal growth and community building.

Kababayanihan: A fundraising concert for typhoon-struck Filipinos

Kababayanihan blends three Filipino words: kababayan (fellow Filipinos), bayani (hero), and bayanihan (community solidarity and collective effort). The event celebrates community, solidarity, and the power of coming together to help those in need.

Expect live performances, local vendors, a silent auction, and more. Everyone is welcome, so invite your friends, your family, and anyone who wants to support this cause. You do not have to be Filipino to join or make a difference.

These programs exist because of people like you.Your donation helps us reach more children, families, and communities in need.
