| The Good Shepherd Sisters Help Weave Dreams of the Poor | |
| Pursuant to the collaboration between the Catholic Committee on AIDS and the Good Shepherd Sisters in helping people encountering with health problems, especially with AIDS, it is found that those people and their families are blocked out with regards to self development on various issues including living with value and dignity. | |
| So, they joined together in organizing a workshop on the theme: "Guidelines on the sustainable occupation: Micro-credit Project" in order to help various Catholic organizations working with the poor who encounter with various problems, that they are able to assist those poor people through experiences and lessons learned from the Good Shepherd Sisters' work. | |
| The workshop was conducted during 18-20 December. Participants received training on the sufficiency economy, agriculture and cattle raising. They were also exposed to various projects such as mushroom cultivation and village cattle farming which have been successful. | |
| It is expected that this workshop will be a stepping stone for sustainable assistance to the villagers, because before receiving any assistance the villagers must be prepared and equip themselves with proper conditions and characteristics and join in groups to help one another. Though this project will have to undergo a long process but it is a model of sustainable development. The Good Shepherd Sisters are expanding this project into the north-east and vicinity. | |
