J.U.F.R.A.N. SPRING 2008
"Journey To Understand Forgotten Reasons To Act Now"
LFS' Peer Mentorship & Internship Program
We, the League of Filipino Students, focus to deepen our understanding of the concrete connections between Filipinos in the United States and in the Homeland by studying and propagating the rich and proud revolutionary heritage of our People's continuing struggle for liberation and National Democracy.
We take it upon ourselves as youth and students to renew our Filipino culture and history, define our present situation as Filipinos all over the world, come to a proper understanding of how to remedy our current condition, and take action.
