"The Journey of Music and Faith: A Dream Realized"
June 29,2024 was a memorable day for the children as it marks their RECITAL DAY - a celebration of their hard work,passion and growth.
Amidst the nervousness that the kids (and even we adults) felt, what shines brighter is our excitement and determination to receive the certificates that represent the fruits of our labor. After 18 dedicated sessions from January 2024 to June 2024, we can proudly say that we are ready to serve God through music.
But before everything else, let us share the humble beginnings of the Aniban Ukulele Ensemble.
Short Biography:
It all began as a simple dream to learn how to play the guitar. Sis. Gwim G. Audal's dream found hope when she met Maβam Ammi San Jose Sager at Aniban SDA Church, where Maβam Ammi was a visitor. Discovering that Maβam Ammi was skilled in teaching string instruments, Sis. Gwim saw an opportunity. However, convincing Maβam Ammi to share her talent wasnβt easy. Living in ParaΓ±aque and already teaching another group of children, Maβam Ammi found it challenging to commit.
Years passed, but God had a plan. In 2023, their paths crossed again, and Sis. Gwim renewed her proposal for Maβam Ammi to teach ukulele at Aniban Church. This time, in God's perfect timing, Maβam Ammi agreed. By November 2023, Sis. Gwim formally presented the proposal to the Church Board, outlining her vision for a ukulele group for children. With unanimous support, the plan was set into motion.
With prayers and determination, they moved forward. On January 13, 2024, the first ukulele class began with 20 eager children and youth. This marked the official birth of the Aniban Ukulele Ensemble (AUE), a group dedicated to glorifying God through music.

May this be just the beginning of inspiring more young people to use their talents for God's Glory!
