SELAVIP

Eduardo Jorge Anzorena, a priest of the Society of Jesus, has a PhD in Architecture from the University of Tokyo. He received the prestigious Ramon Magsaysay Award for International Understanding in 1994. Prior to his retirement, he taught Architecture and Philosophy of Development at Sofia University in Tokyo, six months of every year. The remaining six months he literally traveled around the world visiting low-income housing. His travels to Asia were so extensive that there is hardly a project, no matter how small, that he has not visited.

He still continues to give occasional seminars and lectures and despite his retirement, he continues to travel the world visiting projects and sharing stories about housing the poor. Fr. Jorge continues to publish the newsletter, SELAVIP, which chronicles his travels and stories of the activities of his countless friends in the world of housing.
