AAI-CFP chapters have grown to more than 500 Christian and Muslim members, primarily in Mindanao.
	Rohaniza Sumndad has been the organizer and inspiration for college students who join or create AAI-Catalyst for Peace chapters in their home areas.

	More than 60 percent of all refugees in Mindanao, Muslim and Christian, are children. The youngest children affected by war are exceptionally vulnerable to the shock and trauma of violence. The response of children to the care and love shown in AAI’s trauma healing efforts has been exceptionally positive.

AAI currently has more than 25,000 students in the Model of Excellence public schools programs and are utilizing books donated by the US-based Brothers’ Brother Foundation and Philippines’ Bato Balani Foundation to construct classroom libraries and textbook support.
	In AAI's Model of Excellence Schools, chairs, books and health are priorities, followed by music, arts and sports activities. The retention and graduation rate in AAI’s MOE schools is around 95 percent as opposed to less than 50 percent in Mindanao.
