From a young age, John grew up witnessing compassion and generosity from his Father, Benedicto John Manollo, a man devoted to supporting people with special needs in the community. This spirit of humanity deeply inspired John, shaping him into a caring, dedicated, and community-focused individual driven to bring positive change to those around him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">Motivated by this inner passion, John officially embarked on the journey to establish an institution aimed at creating lasting impact within society. In 2018, the idea of Manollo Foundation began to take shape, guided by a vision to provide education, protection, and equal opportunities for children, youth, women, and persons with disabilities.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">A major milestone was achieved in August 2025, when John met Susan Hirt from Germany, this meeting sparked the initiative to formally register the organization. Together with five colleagues who shared his vision, John began the registration process. The official registration of Manollo Foundation marked the beginning of transforming a dream of community service into a recognized and sustainable institution.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">Today, Manollo Foundation stands as a beacon of hope, driven by a strong mission to create positive and sustainable change in society. The organization works tirelessly to ensure that children, youth, women, and persons with disabilities have access to education, protection, and equal opportunities to achieve their dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nMeet our team\n\n\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">Executive Director<\/span>\n\n\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">Country Coordinator<\/span>\n\n\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">Program<span style=\"\"><\/span>e Manager<\/span>\n\n\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">HR<\/span>\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are always ready for a challenge\n\n\n\n\n\nvolunteers joined\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nsuccessful events\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\npeople donated\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nmade life\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\ninside gallery","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-176","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"campaignId":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/manollofoundation.org\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/176","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/manollofoundation.org\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/manollofoundation.org\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/manollofoundation.org\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/manollofoundation.org\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=176"}],"version-history":[{"count":67,"href":"https:\/\/manollofoundation.org\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/176\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1172,"href":"https:\/\/manollofoundation.org\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/176\/revisions\/1172"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/manollofoundation.org\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=176"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
