In the mid 1980s, a Japanese sister visited Negros, a very deprived area in the Philippines. Later other Japanese sisters, with some lay volunteers, went to see how they could help the people there. For the past 10 years one Japanese sister has remained there, supporting the local people in their desire for development.
