More than 25 years ago, three pioneering batches of young women and men from the Jesuit Volunteers of the Philippines (JVP) sailed to different underprivileged areas in the country to help build a better nation. Now in 2007, we honor these unsung heroes from JVP Batches 1–3 and continue to spread the spirit of volunteerism and faith-driven service in a special musical concert entitled "Journey to Hope: A Heartwarming Musical."

Come join us at Camp Aguinaldo's AFP Theater on March 16, 2007 at 8 p.m. as we celebrate this special tribute-benefit concert featuring our very own Jesuit Volunteers' touching stories of hope interspersed with poignant songs from the world's best-loved musicals like “Rent,” “West Side Story,” “Carousel,” “Jekyll and Hyde,” “Aspects of Love,” “The Sound of Music,” “Godspell,” and “Whistle Down the Wind.”

To interpret these stirring melodies from our favorite musicals are five of the country's shining young artists today: Aliw & Famas Awardee Monique Wilson, 2005 Grand Champion Performer of the World (WCOPA) Jed Madela, ALIW Awardee Bituin Escalante, Philippine Idol finalist Andrae Ybanez and the Ateneo's very own Karylle, accompanied by a full, eight-member band and The Ateneo Boys' Choir.

Seating and corresponding ticket prices for Journey to Hope are as follows: Balcony Sides (Php300), Balcony Center (Php500), Orchestra Sides (Php800), Upper Orchestra Center (Php 1,000), and Lower Orchestra Center (Php1,200). Proceeds from ticket and concert merchandise sales will be used to support the Volunteer Service Program of the Jesuit Volunteers Philippines Foundation, Inc.
