Island Challenge in Bantayan Cebu - Bayani Challenge 2011

GK Bayani Challenge 2011 goes to the Island of Bantayan Cebu, my first Bayani Challenge. Experiencing this, is totally different from just listening it to other Bayani's. 

My story is here: Heroism, boldness, bravery, great courage, unconditional love,  or maybe craziness’ to some.... this were just the word that can best describe the work that GK is embarking on to end the poverty in our country.

For a week thousands of volunteers travel to Bantayan Island to transform the Island and its people from all walks of life. Who would think that this can be possible? Maybe the crazy dreamers, who can fulfill the dream of other people, who choose to love and care despite the pain and personal struggles that each one them is going through.

Below is the video from GKOM of GK Bayani Challenge 2011: "A 5 day journey of love of God and country towards rebuilding a nation through building of homes, island greening, farm build, health mission, school build and paraisong pambata. Last April 4-9, about 1,700 volunteers rocked Bantayan Island and built hope and new found relationship with the people of Sta. Fe, Madridejos and Bantayan."



This year join us once again as we continue to build our nation. We are challenging the impossible, Bayani Challenge 2013 will gather 100,000 volunteers in 37 provinces simultaneously for 5 days. 

As what had said in the blog of Tito Boy (Jose Ma. Montelibano) The Gawad Kalinga mission is to take the poorest 5 million Filipino families out of poverty by 2024. It is a promise, a sacred oath, aware of the overwhelming odds but not willing to let poverty dehumanize brother and sister Filipinos in perpetuity. The mission has been accepted by GK workers and volunteers, but the invitation is for all Filipinos, as the responsibility is a shared one."

As we continue to take on the challenge and challenge the impossible, here in Negros Occidental, Bayani Challenge is in Cadiz City. 

Fun and excitement await for everyone.
