Wherever property is purchased or built it is owned in absolute right by the Society or Trust (or in some cases the individual) who will use it for the relief of poverty. The Starfish Asia Fund owns no property. The Starfish Asia fund purchased and provided funding for renovation of the building that is now the permanent home of the Lahore Christian College. The School building is owned by the Fellowship of Christ, a locally registered Trust. Building in progress at the new site of the Lahore Christian College £4,000 / $8,000 is required to build a church-cum-school building in a poor Christian slum area, known as Niagara Town in Lahore. A fine congregation of believers, led by a dedicated pastor, meets in the open air in someone's home. The Starfish Asia fund arranged the purchase of a plot of land and has been requested to help with the building. The roof of the Church of Pakistan church in Chak 113, where Sohail Samuel runs the Sambhal Education Centre, is falling down. The Church expects no financial help from the diocese to make essential repairs. The Starfish Asia fund would like to help -- part of our contribution tot he village community to which we are already so committed. The Baptist Church in the Mianwali Colony in north Karachi -- close to the Holy Shepherd Grammar School -- is a shell under construction. The pastor is on the board of the school. They need about £2,000 / $3,500 to finish the church to the point that it can be used for worship. Why shouldn't the Christians of Mianwali Colony have such a building? The Starfish Asia fund is trying to help.
