Josie Disterhoft Personal Statement Disterhoft wrote, “[I am a] long-time resident of Chicago - having arrived in 1972 with my husband, Jake. I am an early childhood educator/administrator, newly retired. I continue work as a volunteer in civic organizations in Chicago and a favorite organization in the Philippines, Gawad Kalinga seeks to build communities for the very poor. This event is a beautiful example of community building in Chicago, among Filipino- and maybe beyond. Congratulations to the organizers.”
