Senator Mar Roxas and DSWD Secretary Dinky Soliman will be the guest speakers at the lunch program in celebration of the Jesuit Volunteers Philippines Foundation Inc.'s (JVPFI) 25th anniversary on August 8, 2004 at the Escaler Hall, Science Education Complex at the Ateneo de Manila University.

The JVPFI Annual General Assembly is an occasion for members of the Foundation to know how JVP has been contributing to nation-building and to be involved in making JVP grow and become more effective in its mission. All former volunteers, members and associates of the Foundation are invited to the General Assembly on this date.
The JVP is one of the longest running volunteer service programs in the country. It started out twenty-four years ago by sending out nine brave souls to different Jesuit mission areas in Mindanao. Now, 24 years after, that small group of nine has evolved into more than 600 young men and women that have been sent to over 200 schools, non-government organizations and parishes nationwide.

Moving into its 25th year, it is dedicated to the task of nation-building by promoting volunteerism and forming effective, faith-driven agents of social change.
