QUOTES

"The poverty and long suffering of farmers and indigenous peoples that I have seen has planted in me the principle that justice must be fought for them."

We strongly believe that people are capable of managing ownership and utilization of natural resources in their localities

We specifically raised agrarian issues to encourage both conflicting parties to find something in common. Our strategy worked. The people eventually agreed to put aside their religious differences and sit together to reach agreements that could sustain reconciliation.

“I believe there should be a part of society that conscientiously works as a ‘critical partner’ of the government. And I also believe that the kind of activities that I do are social work, which will not only benefit me and the people in the present time, but also the generations to come.”
