Eight years ago, we dedicated the Balay Mindanaw Peace Center to the peoples and communities of Mindanaw as we pursue of dream of building just and lasting peace.
We said then, as we say again now, that it is intended to be a home and a space for dialogue.
It is also our humble contribution to “professionalizing” and making NGO work for equity, development and peace a viable and longterm career, and a lifetime occupation and commitment.
It also has become a home (not just an evacuation center) to people and families affected by disasters.
It is not just a business proposition.
Congratulations and thanks to the people to whom we have entrusted stewardship of this sacred space.
May we continue to remain loyal and committed to the foundation, ideals, and values upon which the Balay Mindanaw Peace Center has been built.
Padayon…
