Filed under: Entries

Manama, Bahrain. The Tau Gamma Phi and Tau Gamma Sigma of the Triskelion International Kingdom of Bahrain, in cooperation with the Philippine Embassy and ANCOP-GK-Bahrain once again carried out a remarkable event for the benefit of Gawad Kalinga in the Philippines. The Pinoy Bands in Concert part 2 is a participation of nine different Filipino Bands from various hotels in the kingdom and two promising bands from a prominent Filipino school. The show was hosted by Mr. Mel Liamco and Mr. Albert Gayo.

TI-Bahrain awarded Tokens of Appreciation to all participating bands and would like to thank the sponsors of the concert especially to Mr. Mohan Pillai of the Caravan Group of Hotels for providing a great venue and a profound gratitude for the project coordinator Mr. John Bituin & to Creative Team Chairman Butch Paje. Other sponsors are EtisalCom (More prepaid cards), Shaheen Group, Al Abraaj, Fastfood, Bahay Kubo, Shaflout, Boracay restaurants and Abante newspaper. An approximate of BD 1,789.865 with USD 20.00 and PhP 150.00 was raised on this event and an on-going assessment of project expenses will be deducted by the Treasurer Robert Tipace; the rest will be turned over to Ancop GK Foundation and the Triskelion Charity Fund. Last year’s turnover was BD 1, 110.000 and USD 11.00.

Gawad Kalinga is now in the process of transforming poverty-stricken areas, many of them are now Empowered to further improve their quality of life! And the heart-work of GK volunteers is evident in the beautiful colors of the GK homes that have been built for the poorest of the poor Filipino families nationwide.

The transformation is astounding. Slums are disappearing. Rich and poor, Muslim and Christians alike, government and the public sectors are building communities together. The poor are rediscovering their dreams, and are being empowered to build a better future for their families. There are countless stories of how not only the poor but also the donors have been transformed and continue to grow.

Gawad Kalinga’s achievements are reflections of the generosity and goodwill among different classes in the society and in partnership involving all sectors of the society – bridging the gaps that divide us people. GK is building International Villages, showing that poverty can be addressed if rich and poor nations learn to share resources for the development of a better world for all.
