San Isidro Labrador Parish (SILP) Signs MOA with CFCFFL WWP

After a lengthy review with the legal office of the Diocese of Parañaque, the Parish of San Isidro Labrador signed a Memorandum of Agreement with the CFC-FFL Work With the Poor ministry to jointly establish the San Isidro Labrador Child Learning Center. The partnership is the first of its kind in the Diocese, as well as for CFC-FFL. The signing ceremony took place last December 19, 2009 in the office of Rev. Fr. Eric Salazar, Parish Priest.
 

The parish of San Isidro Labrador is located in Bgy Almanza Uno, Las Piñas City. The Child Learning Center manifests the shared vision of SILP and CFC-FFL of empowering the poor through community-building program and activities based on Christian values and principles. After just a few months of serving the Parish, both parties recognized the need to provide poor children of pre-school age with academic and values education so as to prepare them for entering regular elementary education.

The academic operation of the school will be under the supervision of the CFC-FFL district of Parañaque, while CFC-EFI will undertake the training, guidance and monitoring of the teachers.
