On March 29, 2025, the United Voices for Peace Network (UVPN) was honored with an invitation to the Iftar dinner hosted by the British Embassy in Manila. The event was attended by UVPN Chairperson, Mr. Hamodi Lao Tiboron, who had the opportunity to personally express his gratitude to Her Majesty’s Ambassador to the Philippines, Her Excellency Laure Beaufils for the invaluable support extended to UVPN’s initiatives on the ground.

The evening provided a rare chance to engage in casual yet meaningful conversations with fellow development partners and diplomats. Discussions centered around the shared goal of sustaining efforts amidst both local and global challenges. As the gathering unfolded in the spirit of Ramadan—marked by compassion, reflection, and unity—there was a collective sense of hope and optimism.

Within the warmth of the Iftar, where conversations flourished in an atmosphere of goodwill, it became clear that continued collaboration and mutual support are vital to creating a brighter, more sustainable future for all. The event was not just a moment of reflection but also a reaffirmation of the shared vision of peace and progress.

UVPN remains steadfast in its mission, confident that with continued collaboration and support, meaningful progress is well within reach in the coming future.

As the last ten days of Ramadhan 1446 approach, the United Voices for Peace Network (UVPN) organized a Community Muhadarah in Barangay Bitu, Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao on March 23, 2024. This gathering aimed to provide valuable insights and guidance on how to fully benefit from the remaining days of this blessed month.

The session was led by Abdul Satar M. Matabalao, UVPN LEB Member and Consultant for LEB Religious Programs, who shared practical and spiritual advice on maximizing ibadah (worship), increasing good deeds, and seeking the immense rewards of Laylatul Qadr. He emphasized the importance of engaging in more salah, Qur’an recitation, dhikr, and sincere du’a, reminding attendees that the last ten nights offer countless opportunities for forgiveness and spiritual elevation.

This Muhadarah served as an opportunity for the community to deepen their faith and reflect on their spiritual journey throughout Ramadhan. It reinforced the need to intensify devotion, seek Allah’s mercy, and maximize the blessings of these sacred nights. The gathering also strengthened the spirit of unity and shared commitment to Islamic values and continuous self-improvement.

May Allah (SWT) accept our acts of worship, forgive our shortcomings, and guide us to the blessings of Laylatul Qadr.

As we embrace the blessings of Ramadhan 1446, UVPN continues to extend support to communities in need. On March 16, 2025, the first wave of our Orphanage Visitation took place at Halaqah Al Abbas, Semba, Datu Odin Sinsuat, where we provided food supplies, including 2 sacks of rice, groceries, and fresh vegetables, to orphans (aytam) dedicated to learning the Qur’an and Islamic teachings.

This initiative is more than just about giving—it is about strengthening our commitment to compassion, solidarity, and collective responsibility. Supporting orphans and vulnerable communities is a shared duty, and through our Salindaw Ramadhan efforts, we aim to nurture both spiritual and physical well-being during this sacred month.

Your donations will help sustain our Ramadhan initiatives, allowing us to reach more communities and provide meaningful assistance throughout this blessed month. Any amount you give will be a great help, In shaa Allah!
