Helping more

Kursid Kurais is the son of a former Moro National Liberation Front or MNLF combatant. He was born in Tabialan, Tongkil, Sulu, a former MNLF stronghold. His heart is not into fighting, though, but into teaching, being a graduate of B.S. Elementary Education and a registered teacher. When AMORE committed to energize Tabialan with renewable energy systems and organized a Barangay Renewable Energy and Community Development Association or BRECDA in the village to operate and maintain such systems, Kursid was elected Treasurer. Inspired by AMORE, he joined the project as a full-time Community Development Worker so that he could help more of his people. “AMORE challenged us. We realized that our decades of armed struggle have not bettered our lives. This time, we want to give peace a chance.
