The Congress of Visayan Organizations or COVO, is the statewide umbrella of about twenty affiliated Visayan organizations in Hawaii. Founded in 1985, COVO's objectives are: to organize and unify the several Visayan organizations in Hawaii, to perpetuate the Visayan language and cultural traditions, and to assist in the educational, social, and economic advancement of Visayans in the larger Hawaii community.
We invite you to learn more about us - our organization, our leaders and members, our activities - and in so doing, learn more about Visayan culture and the Visayans in Hawaii.
Daghang salamat ug maayong panghinaot kaninyong tanan! |
