Pope Francis said on Human Rights Day 2018:
“Place human rights at the heart of all policies, including development cooperation policies, even when this means going against the tide”. In this statement, he encouraged us to fight and stand up for Human Rights at all times.
In line with that, the Young Franciscan Advocates (YFA) would like to invite you all for a Human Rights and Peace Education with Gary Granda on July 5, 2023 (Wednesday) and July 12, 2023 (Wednesday) at San Pedro Bautista Postulancy Hall, Del Monte - Quezon City.
To those who want to join the event, kindly message the YFA on our page.
Speaker’s background and credentials:
Gary Granada is a public school tutor of a masteral subject in Development Communications, board member to some organizations, union organizer, broadcaster, voice talent, and a musician, among many other things at University of the Philippines
As an artist and activist, Granada was led at last, in his soul-searching artistic process, towards the path of music. This was and remains his contribution to the earnest struggle of his countrymen’s empowerment.
“Most of us simply fight for a better deal for everybody, He says “I think the way to do it is to attach what you do into something that is a little bit bigger than your music. It’s best to apply what little I know, by way of the musical art, into the movement as we call it.”
His internal process, or the revolution he fought in his heart and mind, convinced him of the vital role of each fellowman in our collective struggle to better our lives.
“Even if you’re not as strong, even if you’re not as fit as the others, you are entitled to some sufficient provision to actually have a meaningful and productive life.”
