Senior recreation hub Sunshine Place hit two birds with one stone with its recent events that celebrated the month of hearts and arts.
The senior hub put some “Heart to Art” with a silent auction of the works of its acrylic painting students currently on exhibit, while Art Association of the Philippines president Fidel Sarmiento stages his “He-Art” exhibit at the center’s Happy Garden Café.
Proceeds from the auction and exhibit will go to San Lorenzo Ruiz Home for the Elderly, which has been managed by the Little Sisters of the Poor since 2012. The mission of the congregation of French nuns in Manila is to give respect and dignity to the elderly.
The Sunshine Place also treated its members to a Valentine Serenade featuring the UP Singing Ambassadors with Dr. Eduardo Manguiat as the conductor, and Aliw Awards Hall of Fame awardee and ASEAN Symphony Orchestra Concert Master MerJohn Lagaya. Students from the Little Ballerina School of Dance also performed during the celebration.
The Sunshine Place, a senior recreation center in Makati City under the Felicidad Tan Sy Foundation, is a venue for adults to live actively, through engaging in recreational classes and age-appropriate physical training programs.
