Volunteering for Gawad Kalinga


A non-government organization that help build houses for indigent Filipinos, who cannot afford to build houses became one of my exposure activity for our theology class. The Gawad Kalinga is an international organization pioneered by Filipinos that is now stretching their help to the countries of Africa and other third world countries.
What is fulfilling in this kind of volunteer work is the camaraderie and the friendship you create to your groupmates and those who are working for the good of this community. The house is quite small, a two bedroom house whose square meter can be just as large as our own bathroom. But the organization is doing the best that they could do to alleviate the lives of this people.

I was just hoping that if in case any blogger or organization who happens to read on this blog will be moved to help the organization also especially OPRAH. I almost watch her timeslot in midnight and getting inspired of what she does especially to the community. I also watch how she helped out during the tsunami and hurricane Katrina catastrophes.

I hope she could get the chance to see Gawad Kalinga at work and maybe contribute to the funding that will really help a lot of people. So please blogger, if you happened to be moved by this blog, email OPRAH for me. The more people that will email OPRAH and her angel network, the more everyone will be involved in making this world a better place.
