As one of LFI’s Success Stories, the Lao Foundation, in partnership with Don Bosco Agro-Mechanical Technology Center (Legazpi) Inc., puts the spotlight on one of its scholars from Batch 2020 that continues to serve as a model and inspiration in his community. The story of Ryan Timog is about determination, collaboration, and working together to achieve a common goal.

In this video feature, Ryan, who is from Oas, a rural area in Albay, shares the different challenges and difficulties that he had to face in his journey.
