BOAC, Marinduque, March 19 (PIA) -- Couples for Christ (CFC) Marinduque, a Catholic lay organization, has been sustaining a mission program called Answering the Cry of the Poor (ANCOP), which supports government programs on poverty alleviation. | |||
Bro. Momay Mayo, representing CFC-ANCOP in Marinduque, said that housing may not mean just constructing a house but more “building a home” for the poor members of society. | |||
“Our focus or priority is building a home and not just a house by giving training on value formation to parents and scholars and giving education to members who cannot afford to send their children to school”, Mayo said. That is why ANCOP has integrated two priority programs such as housing and educaiton for the less fortunate communities in Marinduque. | |||
Duplex houses are now being constructed in Baranggays Biga and Sta.Cruz where CFC members who either do not own a house and lot or need help for the repair and improvement of existing houses. | |||
There were actually seven housing sites identified for the project, but only three sites were sustained. These are found in Barangays Isok, Pawa and Biga, Sta.Cruz. The project is being monitored by the provincial government. | |||
ANCOP’s education assistance, the “Child Sponsorship Program” will start before the next school year. Allotted to the province are 30 slots for elementary, high school and college levels. Beneficiaries of the program will receive full scholarship on tuition fees, with a budget of P30,000 for a two-year course. High school scholars will get P15,000 and elementary scholars will receive P6,000, all inclusive of school uniforms and supplies. | |||
An international fund-raising event of the CFC dubbed “2nd Global Walk” intends to solicit more funds to accommodate more beneficiaries for education and housing projects. (LBR/MNL-PIA4B) | |||
