Beyond Differences: a URI interfaith, intercultural, international concert

The United Religions Initiative (URI), a global network of change makers, is celebrating a decade of building cultures of peace and healing around the world and to commemorate this milestone the leaders of Cooperation Circles in the Southeast Asia Pacific region will be gathering in Manila this November to strengthen their commitments and celebrating their successes. The culminating activity of this 4-days meeting will be an inspirational evening of music and dance “Beyond Differences” to celebrate our oneness in diversity and to raise funds for our programs to serve grassroots communities.

We take pleasure in inviting you to join us in our Celebration Concert on November 27, 2010, a first of its kind, in the Philippines featuring music and dance from different cultures and faiths. Some of the our regional talents include world renowned Dya Singh of the Dya Singh World Music Group together with Jarran Blow, an aborigine from Australia on the Didgeridoo, music as well as dances from Bali, Cambodia, Malaysia, India and the Philippines.

The concert will be held at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 27, at the CAP I Auditorium on the 7^th floor, (behind the Makati Med.) Makati City and will last approximately two hours.

The proceeds from this event will be utilized to give seed grants to empower the women and youths in grass root communities to build bridges of understanding and transform religious tension/conflicts into a positive social change. Kindly visit our website: www uri.org to learn more about activities.

In this context we would greatly appreciate your support through a donation/purchase of pledge tickets which are suggested @ Php 250 (not a fixed amount) and is equivalent to one pledge for peace. We would greatly appreciate your support and hope you can purchase some tickets for yourself, family & friends, as all the proceeds go to Interfaith building work. You can also just pledge an amount in case you are unable to attend the event.

Thanks in advance for your kind support & generosity towards building the foundations for world peace!
