And with the help of man, women and children in Sitio Bangkal, Barangay Timbabauan, Tungawan, Zamboanga Sibugay -- located a few kilometres away from a camp of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) – who work on the structure in a perfect display of “bayanihan spirit,” there seems to be no stopping the rise of the day-care center-cum-library. Well, almost because lack of funds is hampering work.
We at the Kristiyano-Islam Peace Library (Kris) and the Kapatirang Claretiano Inc. (KCI) – an organization of former Claretian priests and seminarians – already gave financial help as did people in the area and in Metro Manila, but the funds just seems to be short of the desired amount needed to complete the library.
It is for this reason that we are knocking on your hearts this Christmas Season for you to help fulfill Fr. Larry’s and our desire to complete the Claret Mission Center (CMC)-KCI-Kris Library structure by December.
This project is envisioned to be the 5th Kris Library because the books, toys and school supplies for brought to children there last August are now temporarily house in a nipa hut which is the home of a day care teacher.
Last month, Fr. Larry posted his wish list in his Facebook wall:
