INTRODUCTION
A person is a relational being, in connection with other people, with the
society and with the environment.
In most parts of the country and in the whole world, there is an indication of
social injustice, inequality, poverty, and there is an increasing social disintegration
and environmental degradation. In this kind of circumstance, the voiceless and less
in income suffer the most. This situation calls for acts solidarity, particularly with the
affected sectors of the society – the poor farmers, fisher folks, informal settlers,
indigenous people, laborers and the physically disadvantaged people.
In today’s pandemic situation, it is a great part to recognize the importance of
having one family in this world. We aim to solve the crises we are suffering nationally
and globally. We must be in one hand to fight against COVID-19 and poverty at the
same time.
