CARMENCITA SIPIN- ASPIRAS: UNITY AND HARMONY

Dear Friends,

"Sharing does not make less by division, but creates more by multiplication."

The JVP Batch 27 volunteers are now in their mission areas - sharing themselves... "excited sa mga posibleng magawa dito...", in the words of Gyobs (tutor and house parent) in Palawan.

To help support the volunteers, JVP will be holding a fund-raising classical piano concert on July 8. It is a concert for the arts and music circle that hopes to impart fine music and at the same time spread the story of JVP to people who would like to share JVP's mission. The artist, Carmencita Sipin-Aspiras, is an internationally renowned pianist who will be performing for JVP for free.

Please come to the concert and help sell tickets so we can raise more funds and also show our support for this artist whose heart is big enough to squeeze JVP into her busy schedule to contribute to JVP's mission.

Please get in touch with Joseph Uy at the JVP office (927-9060, 426-5908, 426-6001 local 4880) or at 0919-4164731 for tickets and other details of the event.

Let us continue to hope and share as we remain steadfast in our mission of building lives, communities and nation.

Thank you very much,
Jo Maribojoc
