Heart2Heart is so happy to see the world overflowing with many ANGELS doing many good deeds all over the place!
I was so happy when my friend, Weng Domingo, contacted me and wanted to tell me about her latest project. I asked her what she has been doing recently and she told me she has been busy doing social work… I told her that her husband, Greg, is so lucky to have a perfect first lady to help him with his work
After talking over merienda, Weng invited me to join their meeting and of course I was honored and gladly joined . They were all so nice and warm in making me feel so important and part of their team. I actually had fun and enjoyed listening to Rachy and all their plans and I am looking forward to the event. I hope you can all support their event and help the livelihood programs that will be joining and selling their products
Charity within a Charity
by Weng Domingo
Pasko Pasko Pasko, ON OCTOBER 24, SUNDAY9AM TO 9PM AT THE ROCKWELL TENT, is not your usual bazaar! It is an extraordinary fair where one ultimately experiences a charity within a charity capturing the true spirit of Christmas. A truly feel-good bazaar!
For one, it unfolds a “love is blind” concept where shoppers actually have an opportunity to buy a gift for someone they have not met————a cancer patient or a family from a Gawad Kalinga (GK) village. Upon purchase of a gift, the shopper brings home a card revealing his/her generous gesture. And such card in turn could be given to their friend as a present.
Even the mere buying of goods from its livelihood vendors is charity in itself. Buy a parol and feed a family.
This whole affair has also given the booths for free to its vendors to expose their existence to our community.
Meeting the people behind the scene would touch one’s heart. They continue to give their valuable time with much enthusiasm expecting nothing in return. These unsung heroes are: Usec. Merle Cruz, Dir. Myrna Sunico, Marivic Bonoan, Fe Bulao, Gerry Ravelas, Vic Vargas, Honey vergara, Marivic Pineda, Divine Duran, Aycee Ursua, Pinky Poe and Cecile Manheimer.
Rachy Cuna, a prominent florist/stylist, will create the aura of the bazaar as well as screening the exhibitors’ products. Weng Domingo acts as a mortar collaborating GK’s GKonomics with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
This project is the seed planted for the partnership of GK and DTI. Another mission of this bazaar is to showcase the Design Center of DTI so as to communicate what they can do for you.
As Dona Karan said. “If every person inspires the person next to them to take action, things will CHANGE.”
