About the Gala
A celebration of the people who make this possible.
The WIP Gala is a special evening gathering the most conscious and engaged members of the Maspalomas community. It is a celebration of solidarity, shared values, and the people who bring this project to life — socios, sponsors, collaborators, volunteers, and invited guests.
More than a social event, this is a meaningful meeting point: a space where genuine connection, artistic expression, and a shared commitment to mindful living come together in one unforgettable evening.
Gala host & volunteer
Manolo Santana
Radio Las Palmas · "Café de tarde"
One of Gran Canaria's most beloved voices — radio presenter with over 33 years on air, known for his warmth, authenticity, and the rare ability to make thousands of listeners feel they are in the same room with him.
Manolo volunteered to host our Solidarity Gala on April 25th at the Casa de la Cultura de Maspalomas — an act of pure generosity and an expression of his commitment to conscious community.
He believes in people, in real connection, and in the power of showing up.
We are honoured to have him with us.
