The generosity of three Filipino-Austrian organizations has significantly impacted a kindergarten project in Brgy. Idio, Sebaste, Antique, Philippines. The “Pfarre der Weg Jesu” project in Vienna’s 21st District, recently received substantial financial support from the Council of Filipino Associations in Austria, the Filipino Assistance Movement in Austria, and the Association of Pangasinenses in Austria-Our Lady of Manaoag Choir.
Based in Vienna, these organizations have a strong tradition of helping communities in need, both in Austria and the Philippines. Their combined efforts reflect the commitment of Filipino expatriates to give back to their homeland, particularly in initiatives focused on education and community development.
The Council of Filipino Associations in Austria (CFAA), one of the largest Filipino organizations in Austria, plays a pivotal role in uniting various Filipino groups. Known for its numerous charitable endeavors, the CFAA’s contribution to the kindergarten project in Sebaste underscores its dedication to supporting education and child development. By helping to build a new learning space, it is investing in the future of Filipino children, ensuring they have access to a safe and nurturing environment.
Similarly, the Filipino Assistance Movement in Austria (FAMA) is renowned for its outreach programs. FAMA’s involvement in this project is another testament to its commitment to helping underprivileged communities. Their financial support will contribute to the construction and maintenance of the kindergarten, which will serve as a vital resource for early childhood education in the region.
The Association of Pangasinenses in Austria—Our Lady of Manaoag Choir, a group deeply rooted in its cultural and religious heritage, has also significantly donated to the project. Known for its religious music and community events, the choir’s involvement in charitable works extends beyond Austria’s borders. Their support reflects their devotion to both their faith and their fellow Filipinos.
Together, these three groups have provided crucial assistance, enabling the “Pfarre der Weg Jesu” parish to advance its goal of building the kindergarten. Their generosity will have a lasting impact on the community of Brgy. Idio ensures that children in Sebaste have access to quality education and the opportunity to build a brighter future.
Their efforts demonstrate the power of community and the enduring bond between Filipinos at home and abroad.
