The Peace and Reconciliation Program of the Catholic Relief Services (CRS) celebrated its ten years of peacebuilding work in Mindanao on December 12-13, 2006 at the Rend Convention Center, Vales Beach Resort, Toril, Davao City.
Recognizing that the efforts to promote and build the culture of peace in Mindanao is a journey made with a number of enriching collaborations with various non-government organizations (NGOs), the CRS invited the Consortium of Bangsamoro Civil Society (CBCS) and other partner NGOs to the celebration dubbed as “Partners’ Encounter.”
The celebration adopted as theme, “Ten Years of Peacebuilding Work in Mindanao: Appreciating the Past and Envisioning the Future.”
The Partners’ Encounter focused on the consolidation of the collective peacebuilding work in Mindanao for the past ten years; generating lessons learned in the work; identifying current challenges in peacebuilding vis-à-vis the current context in Mindanao and in the country; articulating the collective direction for the next decade of peacebuilding work and strengthening relationships between the CRS and partner organizations.
Mike Kulat, CBCS program officer for peace and development, and Taher Solaiman, staff, attended the celebration. (TGS)
