About Us
Welcome to Samahan-Lux’s Site!
The Samahan ng mga Pilipino Luxembourg Asbl (“Samahan-Lux”) is a registered non-profit association of mainly Filipinos and Luxembourgish based in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
Brief History
The Samahan-Lux initially started in 1997 and was organized at the residence of Margarette Shore in the town of Gonderange, Luxembourg. The original members were a group of 7 friends namely: Gody Manalo, Bernadette Robles, Elena Lana, Margarette Shore, Manuel Rabanes, Shanna Rabanes and Flora Amagora Probst. It was formed by this group of friends to facilitate the financial needs of each member in case of financial emergencies by way of cash savings and contributions. As the years passed, other friends and acquaintances joined the group. This resulted to an increased number of members.
The increasing members have united and organized the first charity event of Samahan-Lux on 9 December 2006 in Holzem, Luxembourg with ABS-CBN Bantay-Bata 163 as the event’s beneficiary. This was a sold-out, successful first charity event of the group.
