Jesuit Communications' early morning segment "Kape at Pandasal" in ABS-CBN's Magandang Umaga Pilipinas celebrated its two year annversary October 18, 2006. To celebrate this event, free counseling services for family issues were conducted by UGAT Foundation to the watchers of this show. The counselors who had participated are Fr. Nilo E. Tanalega, SJ, Brother JR Orbera,SJ, Brother Eric Escandor, SJ and Karen Vardeleon.
With UGAT's landlines and cellphones announced to the public, UGAT's phones had been ringing all day. It really was a counseling telethon for the group. The enormous response to this program hits home a very solid reality--- that there are so many hurting families in the country,and they thirst for counsel.
Last Saturday, October 21, UGAT also gave a Peer Counseling Seminar to formators of Thursday's Servants' communities. Details to follow.
