The board of Mighty Minds brings together a group of young, dynamic, talented and committed individuals who seek to uplift the existing educational system in the country. We all believe in the importance of primary education. Coming from different backgrounds, all of us have realized that ordinary citizens can contribute and help the government in addressing basic social problems. We know that the government is limited in its resources. National development should not be the sole responsibility of government but the role of every Filipino. We call ourselves social entrepreneurs. A social entrepreneur is someone who will never be happy unless s/he has been able to change or make a dent in society. Together, we believe we can make a difference.
