Pagdiriwang = TEE "Plus"

What's a synonym for Pagdiriwang? TEE Plus!

TEE stands for Transformative Economic Empowerment. It is an annual training program sponsored by CCT that brings in microfinance practitioners from around the world to identify and discuss sound practices in microfinance. MFIs from Africa, the Americas, Eastern Europe, and other parts of Asia have attended TEE over the years.

This year, TEE will take place concurrently with Pagdiriwang, so we're calling it "TEE Plus" and leading to the weeklong event being called "Pagdiriwang/TEE Plus". If you've been thinking you're coming to Pagdiriwang, you'll also be able to take part in TEE Plus! If you've been thinking you're coming to TEE, you'll be able to participate in Pagdiriwang. TEE Plus will include all of the good exposure, teaching, and discussion of past TEE training sessions. The "Plus" is that you'll be able to be encouraged by top-notch speakers in your commitment to experience and extend the kingdom, have more time to enjoy what makes it "more fun in the Philippines", and join with a wider and larger group of attendees from all over the planet.

If you're planning to attend Pagdiriwang/TEE Plus this year, you need to register first here. Then you'll receive a separate TEE application that will help make the most of your TEE experience.

Imagine - two events for the price of one in Pagdiriwang/TEE Plus! Just one more example of how much we have to "Celebrate the Kingdom."
