This time bending-narrative weaves together the pains, struggles, and strife of Filipina women both from our past and present. Choreographed by Ballet Philippines' Artistic Director Mikhail Martynyuk with music by Erwin Romulo, LIMANG DAAN brings poignant vignettes of a woman's life through dance. Renowned designer, JC Buendia, lends his expertise in creating traditional Philippine garments to the production.
A Welcome Program for Filipino nurses can help them assimilate smoothly into our community and ensure we retain the best for our region. Funds raised at event will initiate a Mabuhay Nurses Fund where new arrivals access funds to help defray the cost of basic needs when starting their new life in Jacksonville.

Summer Recipe to note:
More than 25,000 deaths. Nearly 106,000 wrecked buildings. In between these numbers, countless dreams are stopped in the dead tracks of Syria and Turkey. Survivors scrape through remnants of hope to continue or start over.
During this great loss, let us not remain a bystander who only glances over the news and turns a blind eye to suffering.
Be it directly or indirectly, let our everyday action be a conscious effort to be of help — one way or another. We are each other’s support system, after all.
May this week’s list of news be a motivating force for you.

Have you ever asked yourself: How do I express love?
One of my favorite authors, Erich Fromm, says that “love is the active concern for the life and the growth of that which we love.” This implies that love is not a bystander. It steps forward. It listens and speaks. It gives continuous efforts to spark change. Love revolutionizes.
Love month goes beyond February. Yet, this can be the perfect time to start evaluating your expressions of love—not only to your family and friends, but to your community and the society at large. How does your love help make the world a more loving place to live in?
Here are some news that might stir inspiration in you.
