“Love in Abundance: An Outpouring Blessings” a special fund-raising concert and raffle will be presented on October 26 for the benefit of Caritas Manila’s Youth Servant Leadership and Education Program (YSLEP) scholars.
In celebration of its 63rd founding anniversary and in support to almost 5,000 YSLEP scholars of Caritas Manila, Smart Infinity, together with D Source Inc., Ayala Corp., Ayala Land Inc.; BPI Foundation, with the support of PLDT-Smart Foundation; and One Meralco Foundation will hold a benefit dinner concert that will feature the inspirational music of renowned composer and musician, maestro Ryan Cayabyab, to be held at the Grand Ballroom, Shangri-La Fort Bonifacio Global City.
Directed by Floy Quintos, the benefit concert will feature the performances of the Philippine Harmonic Orchestra, singers Basil Valdez, Bituin Escalante, Celeste Legaspi, Bo Cerrudo and Esang de Torres.
The event will not just be a night of musical entertainment, fortunate members of the audience will have a chance to be given special gifts, such as expensive jewelry and other collectible items donated by generous benefactors spurred by mercy and compassion to help the poor and the needy that Caritas Manila supports.
We encourage everyone to support this meaningful concert. Through this musical event, we aim to sustain the needs of Caritas Manila’s YSLEP scholars and to be able to send more youth to school to help and guide them to have a better future. These scholars need all the help that they could get, especially now that some of them are dependents of drug-rehabilitated offenders who are also being assisted by Caritas Restorative
Justice Ministry.
YSLEP is the flagship program of Caritas Manila, which extends financial assistance to poor, but deserving, youth, and trains and hones the youth not only for academic excellence, but also to become servant leaders and good members of
the community.
To date, Caritas Manila has produced over 10,000 graduates and continues to provide educational assistance, values formation workshops and leadership trainings to almost 5,000 students nationwide with an average of 300 college and technical/vocational graduates yearly.
Caritas Manila is the Archdiocese of Manila’s lead social services and development ministry. Apart from YSLEP, Caritas Manila runs diverse projects that help the poor fulfill their human potential, such as the Caritas Damayan and Restorative Justice Ministry, as well social entrepreneurship programs Caritas Margins and Segunda Mana.
