25 Years of CMSP and Para Sa Iyo’s Partnership: A Lifetime of Impact

September 10, 2025

From a small beginning in 2000, the partnership of Para Sa Iyo and CMSP has grown into 25 years of transforming lives. This year, we marked this milestone with 106 PARASAIYO（パラサイヨ：フィリピンの子どもたちの未来を支える団体）members, including five of the original pioneers and 11 past leaders who have faithfully carried the vision through the years.

The celebration was filled with unforgettable moments that spoke of God’s faithfulness. The welcome ceremony became especially nostalgic as Harvest joined the current CMSP beneficiaries in singing “Welcome to the Family,” rekindling memories of earlier years of fellowship and love. Followed by the Paramon and Handprinting activity as a symbol of unity, and the long-awaited opening of the Time Capsule—first sealed in 2010 but postponed due to the pandemic. Inside were the dreams of children and staff from years past, opened by Yu Nakanishi and ED Emeritus Dinah Macaranas. New dreams were then sealed once more by CMSP Executive Director Rose Salvani, Para Sa Iyo President Seina Yoshiike and CMSP Harvest President Elaidia Briones, carrying forward the hope of the present generation.

Another highlight of the celebration, the children’s presentation, where the new generation of Para Sa Iyo and Harvest members also took part in the heartwarming musical play. Stories of graduates and fulfilled dreams brought inspiration, while Para Sa Iyo members themselves offered songs and dances as a gift of joy and thanksgiving. The evening concluded with a spectacular fireworks display sponsored by Harvest, lighting up the night sky with gratitude and hope, and love.

The celebration also included a worship service led by Pastor Danzhiel Macalindol— CMSP beneficiary and now a pastor, delivering a powerful message on how the partnership has grown stronger over the past 25 years.  And to honor their legacy, original members and past leaders were gifted with special artworks made by the children, each one carrying a message of love and gratitude from children and staff. This celebration will forever remain in the hearts of CMSP children and staff, Harvest, and the Para Sa Iyo family—a milestone with a lasting impact that will continue to inspire generations to come.

For 25 years, Para Sa Iyo has walked hand-in-hand with CMSP—helping children finish their studies, reach their dreams, and discover God’s plan for their lives. Here’s to the next chapters of this beautiful journey of hope and transformation. 

TO GOD BE THE HIGHEST GLORY!
