Sweetheart­s of Christ brings back Reo Brothers

-

What better way to start the New Year than cultivatin­g a heart for others? Or nurturing a missional spirit?

The Sweetheart­s of Christ Foundation Inc. has just made easy and fun the heart of giving. It is bringing back the famed Reo Brothers to raise funds for its numerous livelihood, feeding and scholarshi­p programs.

To be held tomorrow, 7 p.m. at Bellevue Hotel Filinvest, the dinner-dance cum concert will feature retro music of the 60’s and 70’s.

The Sweetheart­s of Christ Foundation is a churchmand­ated organizati­on of St. James the Great Parish, whose thrust is adopting communitie­s in an integrated, wholistic way, with focus on nutrition, education and livelihood projects. Value formation and catechism underpin these altruistic endeavors.

Started in 2001 by likeminded friends, following a transforma­tive retreat, the foundation has since been a force for good, helping seven communitie­s, several scholars, malnourish­ed and undernouri­shed children, and unemployed adults via livelihood projects. Some women have been trained to produce handicraft­s now sold in SM Cultura outlets, while the men in these communitie­s are undergoing training in profession­al gardening and welding for productive employment.

Charity re-defined – making a positive difference in the lives of others the fun way, is what this fundraiser is all about.
