Last year, as the COVID-19 pandemic rendered the world helpless, YGoal's Chief Executive Officer, JR Demacais and I planned a program for families and teachers, as well as allied professionals who are looking after children at home and from home. The adjustment and response to change was overwhelming. Many were confused, lost and anxious. Mustering our courage, we soldiered on.
With YGoal's guidance and support, we were able to design the Learn From Home (LFH) Program by listening and featuring families that have pivoted and shifted to the "new normal". We had three interviews with parents and their children sharing the challenges they encountered and the strategies they applied to pull through. 2020 was the year of pain, grit and resilience. It was not an easy journey, but we did learn that the pandemic can bring out the best in people and the family has to remain a strong unit for society to survive.
We are now preparing for the second run of Learn From Home (LFH) 2021 through a Parents' Hour. But before we connect with parents and families, a review of the learning and insights gained from LFH 2020 is necessary. This way, we are able to connect our learning with new discoveries that await us this year.
For starters, here is a poster of what LFH Season 1 Episode 1 was all about. The Madrid Family shared their response to the changes brought by the pandemic.

If you are parent, a teacher or an allied professional working with and for children, we hope to see you on the first session of YGoal's LFH Parents' Hour.
