| RMP LCW's work with BCC to further peasant organizing work By coordinating with parish programs in BCC areas, LCWs in Agusan deepen peasant organizing work by providing social investigation analysis and organizing skills. They also see to it that the poor but socially committed peasants instead of the rich peasants take the leasdership role in the organization. Through the integrated areas development approach which pools resources of institutions and people's organizations LCWs move from place to place to strengthen and recover areas that have suffered from natural and man made calamities. RMP LCWs are
missionaries who help empower peasants by helping them realize that
they ( the peasants) are the ones who will solve their own problems
and when conscientized and solidly organized will be effective agents
of social transformation. RMs being missionaries consider their
mission done and pull out when the peasants have a sense of their
identity, are organized enough to struggle for their own rights
and have developed solidarity with national and international groups. |
