May mga salitang madaling makalimutan at may mga salitang tumatatak sa puso. Sa gitna ng ating mga gawain, may mga pahayag na nagbibigay-lakas, umaaliw, at nagpapaalala na hindi tayo nag-iisa.

Sa pagtatapos ng linggo, pagnilayan ang tanong na ito at balikan ang mga salitang naging bahagi ng iyong paglalakbay.

Age is never a barrier to making a difference.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Amaya Alfonso for generously sharing her time, creativity, and talents with Jesuit Volunteer Philippines Foundation, Inc. during her one-month volunteer engagement.

Despite being a senior high school student, Amaya embraced the opportunity to serve by designing the template for JVPFI’s Annual Report and helping create and edit video publication materials that communicate our mission and stories to a wider audience. Her work reflects how young people can meaningfully contribute to causes they believe in and become partners in building a more just and compassionate society.

Amaya’s volunteer journey reminds us that service is not measured by age but by the willingness to offer one’s gifts for others. We are grateful for her enthusiasm, dedication, and generous spirit.

Thank you, Amaya, for showing that even small acts of service can create lasting impact. We look forward to seeing more young people discover the many possibilities of volunteering and sharing their talents for mission and community.

Season 4 Begins!

Every act of service has a story. Every volunteer has a reason for saying "yes."

This Thursday, August 6, 2026, we are thrilled to launch Season 4 of Share Ko Lang – Serbisyong Kunsang Loob!

This new season opens our doors to inspiring volunteers from different organizations who will share the experiences, challenges, and moments that have shaped their journey of service. Together, we'll discover how ordinary people, moved by compassion and purpose, are making an extraordinary difference in their communities.

Episode 1: Celebrating the International Year of Volunteers for Sustainable Development (IVY 2026)

Did you know that the United Nations General Assembly has proclaimed 2026 as the International Year of Volunteers for Sustainable Development (IVY 2026)?

This global celebration recognizes the invaluable contribution of volunteers in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and calls on governments, organizations, and communities to strengthen support for volunteerism as a force for sustainable development.

Joining us are our special guests from the Philippine National Volunteer Service Coordinating Agency (PNVSCA):

Ms. Ela Victoria F. Sarmago
Ms. Pia Castillo

They will help us explore what IVY 2026 is all about, why this global celebration matters, and how PNVSCA is leading and promoting volunteerism in the Philippines.

Together with our energetic hosts, Mima Bautista Macahilig and Jomar Revilla, we'll celebrate the spirit of volunteerism and discover how each of us can become part of a movement that transforms lives, strengthens communities, and builds a more hopeful and sustainable future.

Last July 17, 2026, the Jesuit Volunteers Philippines Foundation, Inc. (JVPFI) participated in the Advocacy Fair organized by Xavier School San Juan as part of the launch of its Life Project program.

The Advocacy Fair served as an opportunity to accompany young people in their journey of discernment and social engagement. Through meaningful conversations with Grade 11 and Grade 12 students, JVPFI shared its mission of forming volunteers committed to service, social justice, solidarity, simplicity, and spirituality.

As students reflected on their Personal Mission Statements and explored possible directions for their capstone projects, the event became a space for dialogue, learning, and collaboration. More than presenting programs, JVPFI was honored to witness the enthusiasm of students who seek to become persons for and with others—young leaders ready to respond to the needs of their communities with compassion and courage.

We thank Xavier School Senior High School Department for the invitation and for creating spaces that nurture a deeper commitment to faith, justice, and service. Together, we continue forming companions in mission who strive to find God in all things and serve where they are needed most.

JVPFI, in partnership with In Touch Community Services, Inc., extends its heartfelt gratitude to our resource speaker for sharing time, expertise, and commitment during the online orientation, “Introduction to Psychological First Aid with Focus on Self-Harm and Suicide,” held on July 25, 2026, from 9:00 A.M. to 12:00 Noon.

Through this meaningful learning session, teachers from Fatima Colleges of Camiguin were equipped with essential knowledge and practical skills to better support students, promote mental well-being, and respond with care to those experiencing emotional distress.

As we continue our mission of service that builds and spirituality that loves, we celebrate partnerships that strengthen safer, more compassionate, and more responsive school communities. Thank you for helping form educators who accompany, protect, and care for the lives entrusted to them.

Today, we celebrate the Feast of St. Ignatius of Loyola, whose life reminds us that God can be found in all things and that every person is called to be a companion in mission.

As Jesuit Volunteers and partners in service, we continue the Ignatian journey of discerning with courage, loving with generosity, and serving with humility. Inspired by his example, may we seek not only what is good, but what leads to the greater good—the Magis—for the people and communities we accompany.

May the spirit of St. Ignatius deepen in us the values of Service that builds, Social Justice that empowers, Solidarity that unites, Simplicity that frees, and Spirituality that loves.

On this feast day, may we renew our commitment to be men and women for and with others, finding God in all things and serving Him in all whom we meet.

Happy Feast of St. Ignatius of Loyola!
