..and now, I'm really on it.
I remember the day when my high school joined Gawad Kalinga and built some houses bus ride away from my school though I wasn't really there, for reasons I cant remember. I saw my schoolmates, classmates and teachers pictures in one of our many bulletin boards scattered around the campus. Well, our high school is a bit big so they have bulletin boards all over.
Then in college, my school joined the election and some of my classmates, schoolmates and again professors joined in. I'm not a sucker for volunteering and usually brushed it off. Maybe, it wasn't my calling yet. Maybe, I have to experience and see things first so that time, effort and support wont waste.
So, here I am with Lara attending an orientation for Verlanie Foundation. The foundation is just around Makati and a walk away Makati Coliseum.
I was really tired and not into-volunteerism the night before and the morning after and even an hour after I got dressed but since I cant find any reasons to cancel it, I still met Lara at KFC - Pasong Tamo and there we were.After the short-and-not-so-upbeat orientation, to be honest it made me yawn and on the verge of standing up and make some dancing tricks, well out of habits :) to keep my spirit there and not wander somewhere near or in , dreamland.
After the orientation, Ms. Lyn the young but been in the foundation for quite a while toured us so we could see and have a first hand view of what the foundation has been doing. well, I'm already decided but the tour polished my decision :)
Lara and I will be back next weekend to make final assessment, I guess. I have to choose programs so I'll be checking there site tomorrow :)
Please take note that I colored the kids eyes. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post their pictures though Ms. Lyn allowed me and some of us to take some photos with this kids. I'm just following how they do it on TV. So please, excuse my innocence.
I have also taken the Makati Coliseum. Lara and I actually inquired after our tour and the guard on duty told us that the coliseum might be open in June or July. Well, we will back by then.
