Diocese of Orange San Jose Filipino Ministry

The Diocese of Orange San Jose Filipino Ministry empowers impoverished communities in the Philippines by establishing AI Learning Innovation Hubs, providing educational resources and opportunities to children of farmers and indigenous families for a brighter future.

Join us for an evening of music, fellowship, and mission at the Sandiwaan Benefit Concert, presented by the Diocese of Orange San Jose Filipino Ministry, featuring the Le Van Family &amp; Friends. This benefit concert will support the development of AI Learning Innovation Hubs in <a fr-original-style="" href="https://sandiwaan.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">six DepEd divisions serving indigenous communities in the mountains of the Cordillera in the Philippines</a>. Funds raised will help provide 3D interactive boards, VR/AR learning equipment, air conditioning for learning spaces, and one year of support for these sites. Starlink connectivity is expected to be provided through DepEd&rsquo;s IT Division, as pledged by DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara. These hubs will serve children of impoverished farmers, indigenous families, and school dropouts who need access to meaningful educational opportunities. The goal is to create learning spaces where students can engage more deeply, learn with dignity, and access tools that may otherwise be out of reach. The mission is inspired by the initiative and work of Fr. Benigno Beltr&aacute;n, a missionary priest of the Society of the Divine Word, who has spent decades serving the poor, including many years among the scavenger communities of Smokey Mountain in Tondo, Manila. In his later years, he continues to serve impoverished farmers and school dropouts so they may have hope for the future. Our goal is to raise $25,000 to help make these AI Learning Innovation Hubs possible. Every ticket, sponsorship, and donation helps support this mission of education, dignity, and hope. Seating is limited. Please purchase your tickets early, consider becoming a sponsor, and invite family and friends to join us for this special evening of music and mission.
