Daniel Ryan Sanchez: Educating Through Storms in the Philippines

Meet Daniel Ryan Sanchez, a youth and student leader and volunteer from Santa Rosa, Philippines. As an SDG-4 advocate he leads the grassroots group Hope Builders Dream Tracers and runs a weekly “Lakbay Tahanan” house-to-house reading and feeding program for children. In this video Daniel explains how storms and flooding (like Typhoon Paeng) disrupted their work and the children’s education, and why relief is only a small part of long-term flood risk management. He calls for for systemic, education-centred reforms and sustained community action.
