The Child Protection
Network is a Filipino, non profit, non stock charitable foundation for the
treatment of abused children. A donation
of Php 9,576 will cover the medical treatment of one abused child and will
include support services like legal counseling, psychiatric counseling, family
conferences with a social worker and repeat visits to check on the child.
Irene Martel, Tatler's publisher and one of the
Trustees of the Board, put together an evening of charity to raise funds for
the CPN. Guest of Honor was David
Bradley, Chairman of the organization. The other members of the Board of
Trustees gave their moral support and joined Irene in organizing a most
successful evening.
This evening, a lot of money was raised through an auction
of 3 items. A week stay at the Bradley
Home in Valfond, Provence France was one of the items auctioned. It was won by
a bidder for US 15,000. The villa is a
fully renovated early 19th century "maison de noblesse" in a 4-acre
walled garden. It has 6 double bedrooms
and 6 private baths.
There were tables that were bought for a premium. My friends
and I were hosted by young entrepreneur Joseph
Calata of Calata Enterprises who
was one of the major donors of the evening.
Composer/Musical Arranger Ryan
Cayabyab's show of Broadway musicals
after the auction was a huge hit with the audience. Ballroom dancing followed the show and was the
highlight of the evening. Music and
Dance uplift the soul and are usually a big part of most Tatler events.
