(May 28) Talibon Concert for a Cause!

The Send a Soul to School (SSoS): A Thousand a Semester Movement will hold a concert for a cause come May 28, 2009 at Talibon Cultural Center in Talibon, Bohol.  The said concert will feature Gail Blanco, a Universal Recording Artist, with the Versatile Band.  Another possible showbiz personality will also grace the said event.  The movement has been organized in Bohol three years ago to primarily support deserving poor students to pursue college education or technical courses.  So far, SSoS Movement is sending six (6) scholars to college.  Proceeds of the concert will be for the continuing financial assistance of the said scholars. In this connection, I am honored to invite you once again to be a part of this event.  The concert is co-sponsored by the Local Government Unit of Talibon.  We will start promoting come first week of May. 

Helping the poor is an expression of our Christian identity.  “Charity,” as Pope Benedict XVI puts it, is “a responsibility of the Church” (Deus Caritas Est, n. 20).  Hence, SSoS movement is a response to the Pope’s invitation to organize charity (ibid.).  Our Lord Jesus Christ constantly reminds us: Whatever you do to the least of my brothers and sisters, you do it to me (Mt. 25:40).

- Fr. Dong Estafia, SSoS Founder

P.S.  Special thanks to Sen. Manny Villar.

Thank You!

On behalf of the Send a Soul to School Movement, I would like to thank the people of Jagna for attending Gail’s Concert. Your presence really made a big difference in the lives of our poor scholars.  My deepest gratitude also would go to the sponsors who unselfishly contributed a lot to the success of the said event. Hangtud sa sunod! God bless and rest assured of my constant prayers…
