Gawad Kalinga Advocacy: Reaching out to students in JC!

Today I and my CP team went down to Victoria JC to participate in OCIP Fair there representing Gawad Kalinga, the organisation we are working on.

Started with setting up all the exhibition materials for our booths, pasted all the posters and pictures and did some deco.

Continued with eating a super cheap yet tastes nice lunch; $1.50 for my meal, Bak Chor Mee.



And... our exhibition started... It didn't seem very crowded at the beginning, but after the OCIP talk and all the JC1 student came out and started approaching us, here's our show time. haha


It's indeed a wonderful experience, though it's pretty exhausted coz we talked non-stop for some time. But...I just feel very happy when someone came to us and wanted to know more about us. Some of them that I talked to were really interested on what I said, they really listened to my story about GK. It's awesome when someone initiated to sign up with us to get the follow up from us, watch the video we did. Imagine how you can make a difference, even just by talking shortly to somebody that you don't know, how you can help the poor by talking to them, and how you can contribute to community.

Check out our video: It's our experience when we went to The Philippines for immersion program 5th-9th December 2011.



On a side note, looking at students wearing JC uniform, it reminded me to my high school life...haha
