Search for the 27th Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Awards launched

 

AY Foundation (AYF), the philanthropic arm of the Yuchengco Group of Companies (YGC), together with the Junior Chamber International-Manila (JCI) formally open this year’s search for exceptional individuals who had shown dedication and selfless service to the poor and the underprivileged in the country. The Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Awards (BTCA) is a joint annual award search project of AYF and the JCI-Manila with the purpose of recognizing special individuals who should have at least 25 years of extensive humanitarian experience behind them. Last year’s BTCA Awardee Raymond Z. Cagape, MD whose passion lies in providing health-care services in remote areas in Mindanao for more than two-and-a-half decades, graced the event.
