Mario Toots Fungo and Gabby Medina continued planning at Starbucks, Trinoma after their MPAI core group meeting in Quiapo. They talked about the SOPP this May and also having a fund-raising activity for the group. They also talked about hiring someone to do a website for Mandala Peace Arts Initiative while maintaining this blogspot account.
For the Symphony of Peace Prayers, the group will be divided into two or maybe even more. One group will go to Baguio to help in the SOPP preparations there. The rest will stay here in Manila. But before the said event, the group shall make Mandala T-shirts, Mandala Pins and Mandala Bags for sale. The MPAI members can wear them and can set up a booth during the SOPP where participants can buy these items at a reasonable price. Some items can also be brought to Japan.
As for the website, Toots and Gabby need to finalize the content first before hiring a web designer to make the website for the group. Some of the categories or web pages include the divinity-in prayers, the mandala writing workshops, the symphony of peace prayers and the core group meetings. Hopefully this will be up and running before the SOPP this May. We can link also other Peace organizations to our website like URI and Peace Makers Circle.
