Tahum Pop Up Festival: a gift of Assumption education

• Slated on Feb. 21-23, 2020, Tahum aims to raise scholarship funds

• Ilonggos urged to buy local and support local artisans

St. Marie Eugenie, foundress of the Religious of the Assumption believes that the real transformation of society is derived from a Christian education.

This is according to Sr. Fidelis Estrada, superior of Assumption Iloilo. “An educator plants values in the hearts and the minds of the young that will enable them to lead others to the light. We all want the same thing, a better world for the young ones. A better world is possible through education,” Sr. Fidelis said.

The transformative education of Assumption has three pillars – faith and spirituality, academic excellence and sense of social responsibility.

Love Local, Support a Scholar

In order to give a gift of Assumption education to deserving students in Iloilo City, the Assumption Iloilo Educational Foundation, Inc. and Assumption Iloilo gather local artisans for a fund-raising event “Tahum – A Pop Up Festival”.

It is slated on February 21 to 23, 2020 at the Iloilo Convention Center. It is open to everybody from 10 am to 8 pm.

“Tahum is a celebration of authentic pride and product excellence. We aim to have a paradigm shift for people of Western Visayas, teaching them to buy local and not just limited to a trend,” said Marjorie Florete, president of AIEF.

She added that last year’s Tahum, apart from the scholarships, has helped support some of their projects for different communities.
