A Noble cause - Gawad Kalinga

Life is good. It has always been and will always be. I've traveled to places, ate good food, shopped till I dropped, tried different sports and engaged in different adventures. I feel blessed to have so much fun-filled expereinces and bold undertakings in my life, so I guess it's time to give back something to my community and fellowmen.

Not to long ago, I attended a talk about the Gawad Kalinga Foundation and was moved by mission of it's founder Mr. Tony Meloto. In my lifetime, only few have I encountered a man with such clean and pure intention to help others. A very selfless and honorable man in it's truest sense!

And so, I was moved and decide to help out. Those of you out there that are thinking of ways to help out, I suggest you to volunteer yourself and help out any Gawad Kalinga (GK) Projects. I'm pretty sure this is something you will be proud of. :-)

For more information about GK, visit their website - http://www.gawadkalinga.org/




The colorful houses help gives it's residences a brighter outlook ( As per one of the residents I interviewed during my visit)


Here's the community we visited, The Poveda Adopted GK located in Taguig


GK Provides decent housing tothose who are in need. Every Community or Phases have different designsfor their houses
GK ensures to provide decent housing to it's recepients. See, it even has Cobble stone flooring on its streets! This reminds me of Mexico Tele Novela housing set-up!

Gawad Kaling (GK) has been known worldwide because of its mission to help the poor and to build houses for them. Being a nation building movement, GK have gathered different members from all sectors of society from the government, academe, corporate,
religious, NGOs, and private citizens that shares the same goal of making the Philippines a first-class country in the near future. I'm proud that I'm a member of GK! :)
