Pax Christi Youth in the Phillipines - Global Report


Pax Christi-Miriam College is active in education and advocacy work. In the Year 2010, it put up exhibits and organized forums during the Global Week of Action against Gun Violence, International Humanitarian Law Day, International Day of Peace , the 10th anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 and the Mindanao Week of Peace.

This week, which is the Mindanao Week of Peace, the group is spearheading the selling of rice porridge for a cause. They were able to sell approximately two thousand tickets for this purpose. They dubbed this activity “Rice Porridge for Peace”. Proceeds of the project will go to Miriam College’s twin school in Pikit Cotabato-the Rajah Muda High School - a public school attended by Muslims. Miriam College is a Catholic school for girls. The purpose of the twinning is to help build bridges of understanding between peoples of different faiths and culture.
