The day the grandpa of the year visited

16/5/2010







Tito Tony, founder of Gawad Kalinga, came by in the afternoon, and shared with us a short but inspiring chitchatting session. Listening to him made me realized that how meaningful this project is to the community, but at the same time, how insignificant it is as compared to the whole movement of GK in transforming and reforming the communities, their living conditions and also the characters of individuals by hiring them to work on GK projects to make them feel useful. As such to make them realize that the objective of living in poverty is not merely to survive, but to be progressive. I learned from this short talk with Tito Tony, it might be diplomatic but it is indeed inspiring and meaningful.
