LCW started a LCP chapter in Vancouver, WA, under the leadership of Marciana Hope. Following the prototype of the LCW model a project in Ingan, Leyte (ILP), an island east of Negros in the Philippines was established. Ingan is a small village with very limited job opportunities and the minimum wage is only the equivalent of $3.00 per day. The project, like LCP Dumaguete on Negros island, endeavors to empower disadvantaged children and their parents so they may escape poverty and emerge as strong, self-supporting families with Christian values. For more information on the program contact the Leyte Program Director.

The LCP Ingan, Leyte project helps to fulfill a long-held dream of the LCW administration to replicate the LCP Dumaguete model in other parts of the Philippines and elsewhere. Marciana and her sister started a pre-school, a college scholarship program for worthy High School graduates, and a child sponsorship program.
