This is an Ati home on Panay Island. If I understand the history correctly, a few years back, an American family lost their daughter in a car accident. This family had worked as missionaries in the Philippines with the Ati people and were always upset by the way the |Ati were regularly uprooted depending on the political situation at the time. So, when the American family lost their daughter, Carla, they decided to buy a piece of land for the Ati to live on, to provide them with a stable home. The community is named "Carla" in their daughter's honor. It is a beautiful, peaceful place. What a wonderful testimony of the way, when we try to honour Him, God can make good things come out of horrible situations. |
