We were able to meet two members of the Manila Muslim-Christian Community Peace Makers Association, Inc. who are the ones responsible in maintaining the said place. They were also there to join us in our meeting. In the meeting, it was decided that we shall have our core group meetings there every month. We shall also conduct a Mandala Writing Workshop there in the morning or in the afternoon. We shall also reach out to neighboring universities in the area like MLQU and Arellano for the workshops. We can also contact companies or other organizations or groups who may want to have a Mandala Writing workshop for them. As for the future workshop participants at Kafe Boix, we can ask them for a little donation for the maintenance of the venue. Any amount is fine. We shall also contact all of those who participated before in our workshops to also give some donations not only for Kafe Boix but also for our materials like Mandala papers and colored pens. Orlan suggested something like a "Pay it forward" thing that if the participants enjoyed the workshop, they can give a little donation for us so that we can have resources for all the workshops that we will be conducting after that. Toots also suggested that we can donate our budget for our ISIS-rent to Kafe Boix since the place is our new venue. We shall still conduct workshops at ISIS one Saturday of every month just a day before the Core Group meeting. Lastly, we can tap the help of Rotary, Lions and some other groups to help us in maintaining Kafe Boix and also to construct clean comfort rooms for men and women who will be attending our workshops. They can also help us purchase a water dispenser, a battery for our solar panels and whatever that we may need.
We immediately prayed and performed the divinity in after the meeting.
Some good picture taking before leaving Kafe Boix. May Peace Prevail on Earth.
