      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://static1.ara.cat/clip/3a9172ca-c81f-4373-ab54-1ecc45af9534_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0_x1718y557.jpg" /></p><p>Father Manel Pousa <a href="https://www.ara.cat/societat/mor-pare-manel-sacerdot-vulnerables_1_1058045.html" >died five years ago</a> and left a profound legacy, from which we can draw a maxim: "For our work, love and humor are an absolutely necessary pairing." This is recalled by the president of the Pare Manel Foundation, Sandra Pardo, who explains that workers and volunteers have made this idea the organization's leitmotif. "We work with vulnerable people and, therefore, we have the social responsibility to be a joyful role model for them," Pardo emphasizes. The flagship event of this festive attitude is the gala. <em>Win heaven with Father Manel</em>, which has brought artists together on stage since the 1990s with the charitable purpose of raising funds for the Foundation. This year's gala will be held on May 6 at the Teatro Victoria in Barcelona and will be very special because it will be the last. They are already planning new charitable cultural events for the future that will follow the gala's legacy. <em>Win heaven with Father Manel</em> It will host artists who have participated year after year on a voluntary basis, such as Joan Manuel Serrat and Judit Neddermann, as well as others who have participated more sporadically, such as Love of Lesbian, T de Teatro, Sol Picó, and Terremoto de Alcorcón. "We want everyone to be there and, beyond attending an event of the highest cultural quality, for people to also leave knowing what we do at the Foundation. That's why some of our projects will have a special role during the gala," the president explains. Since Father Manel died, the Foundation has had the challenge of moving forward and reinventing itself in some areas without losing sight of the will and ideas of the man who gives it its name.</p>]]></description>
