Middle of last year I wrote this story about plans to build the first environment-friendly and digital church in the world which will be located at the Parish of the Risen Christ, Smokey Mountain in Tondo, Manila.
Last January, groundbreaking ceremonies were held for building the church but the parish is still in need of funds. While Fr. Ben Beltran looked forward to having the church built in time for their parish fiesta this coming Easter Sunday, I don't think the parishioners would have a finished church by then.
As my way of helping the parish, starting today and until the church is finally built, I will be placing an appeal for help at the foot of my posts. For donations, please contact the parish office at (0632) 2562336.
The parish is also accepting donations of used computers for its Sandiwaan Center for Learning, an organization helping out-of school youths get a decent education and financial support for one of its projects, the Educational Outreach through eLearning. Dr. Dylan Dizon, EDO Project Director, told me recently that their funds are depleted and that their staff, composed mostly of deaf programmers, continue to work on the interactive modules despite not being paid their salaries for the past two months. For your donations, please contact EDO at (0632) 7167716.
