Hello Pallavi!
Nice to hear from you! The Lumad Schools here in our country are still under attack and thus closed, because of this red-tagging of the military or associating many indigenous communities to revolutionary forces. 'Lumad' is a term for diverse indigenous peoples of Mindanao. Some of the students are now housed in UP Diliman campus to continue their alternative education. Called the Bakwit School ('bakwit' as a slang for evacuee), these young students become our research partners in our ongoing research and documentation on alternatives. Jose Monfred (or MonSy), my colleague in the UP CIDS AltDev Program and a teacher in the Bakwit School can tell you some documentation or books about the school's work on ecological/ solidarity-based future.
Apologies for posting again, here is the link to the story of the Bakwit School published by UP CIDS:
Teaching "Pangiyak Ki!": The Lumad School as a Struggle for Land, Life, and Liberation (See page 107-124)
Glad to know you and Jemi are also friends! Jemi, you might also be able to share some documentation or a book about the agricultural school for children run by the Serikat Petani Pasundan (Pasundan Peasant Union). I visited one of their schools in Tasikmalaya in West Java last year.
All the best in your book hunting for your children and other young people there!
In solidarity!
