Travel With A Cause

On my travels, at times, I feel, knowing people is not enough. I mean. I go to one place, site-see and all. The experience is great but is only fleeting. I feel there is more to it than that..


And so one afternoon, a sudden talk with Liza, exchanged some ideas and recent blog reads, a travel-with-a-cause sort of plan came up with..


The first days of planning were a blur. where to go. what to give. and how to start?


We went to a list of Philippine's poorest places and the choices went down to one in Bicol and the other in Kalinga since most in the list are in the Mindanao, which, for us is highly not feasible..


Luckily, Marela is a Bicolana and their family actually do this kind of stuff so half of our work is actually done..


Now, the other half..that's where we come in, where I come in, where you come in..
I always believe that we have social responsibilites to accomplish. That one doesn't have to be wealthy to help. What we earn cannot support this goal. 


And so we are asking..


We are asking our family and friends to support in ways they can on what our group is trying to do. Your contributions will go to the children of a remote island in Manlilipot, Albay, Bicol. They will be needing school supplies for the school year. Old clothes and shoes are also a big help. Anything. Just anything you think these kids will need. I'll be updating this blog so you guys see where your donations went to. 




I also would like to thank the people who already have given their assistance, specially to Mr. Toni France Apuli who shared a generous amount of his money.


For further inquiries on where to give your donations, look for us. Mare, Liza, France and Geh.
