MMS Member Testimony: Paul Pancho
Paul Pancho, Mission Making Society Member
In her first primary five years at an elite Honolulu private school, my precocious and intellectually and emotionally sensitive daughter experienced continual bullying at the hands of her peers. Transferring in the 6th grade to another elite private school set her on the road to positivity.
But, the metamorphosis was gradual. All this thanks in no small measure to amazingly proactive mentors: academically especially in creative writing; artistically in singing, dance and acting; along with the emotional guidance from friends, family and our church. Most of these mentors were highly competent and strong women.
Today, she is a well-accomplished and more confident woman at age 36 — with a Masters in Creative Writing and PhD in Philosophy — living in Scotland with her Welsh husband. Professionally, she thrives in promoting more ethnic diversity of women, particularly in the areas of literature and the arts.
Five years ago, I was introduced to YWCA O‘ahu. I was immediately struck by how this organization’s mission so closely paralleled my daughter’s initiatives — that of eliminating racism and empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.
So, in tribute to my daughter’s surmounting her childhood social and emotional adversities to become the awesome woman she is, I continue to volunteer my time, talent and treasure to the YWCA O‘ahu. As such, I am proud to be a member of this awesome organization’s Mission Making Society. I want to encourage our community — women and men alike to join me in this support. Mahalo!
