Association of Filipino Teachers and Educators in America, Inc.

The Association of Filipino Teachers and Educators in America (AFTEA), Inc. was established in December 22, 2006. The founder of the organization is Mr. Pancho M. Bernaldez who came to New York City as a public school teacher in September 2003. With few of his friends and colleagues as Board of Directors, they started to create an organization to help fellow teachers in their struggles of surviving as a classroom teacher in the New York City Public Schools. The Internal Revenue Service of the US government finally approved the organization as a non-profit organization named the Association of Filipino Teachers in Eastern America (AFTEA), Incorporated. ​In 2018, the AFTEA Executive Board approved the change of name into the Association of Filipino Teachers and Educators in America (AFTEA), Incorporated to provide wider scope in memberships and affiliations.

​Make Me a Channel of Your Peace

Make me a channel of your peace
Where there is hatred let me bring your love
Where there is injury, your pardon Lord
And where there's doubt, true faith in you
Make me a channel of your peace
Where there's despair in life let me bring hope
Where there is darkness, only light
And where there's sadness ever joy
Oh, master grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love with all my soul
Make me a channel of your peace
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
In giving of ourselves that we receive
And in dying that we're born to eternal life
Oh, master grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love with all my soul
Make me a channel of your peace
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
In giving of ourselves that we receive
And in dying that we're born to eternal life.
