 Brothers and Sisters,
Let's all praise and thank the Lord for a very successful GK Walk last weekend. The honor and glory in this victorious GK Walk belongs to our good Lord alone who made it happen for the benefit of the poor and the homeless.
Thank you all for your prayers and participation at the GK Walk. We are, most especially, grateful to the participants and generous donors. Thank you for being part of the cause, for believing in it and sharing your blessings.
Initial report indicates that the BLD Group had exceeded our donation target by 45%. Total pledges collected as of last Sunday amounts to $21,750 which is about $5,000 more than what we have raised last year. There are more pledges coming in the mail and from the on-line solicitation and we anticipate that we will reach the amount of $27,500 when all the donations have been recorded and accounted for. This is about 80% above our target of $15,000.
Brothers and Sisters, with the funds that we anticipate to raise from this GK Walk, i.e. $27,500, we will be able to build 11 GK homes for our homeless kababayans.
We are also happy to report that there were 40 BLD members and BLD supporters who actually participated in the Walk which is double the number compared to last year. Thank you Walkers for representing the BLD Community in this years GK Walk.
We hope to see you all at the next GK Walk and please pray for the continued success of our work with the poor.
Mabuhay Po Kayo!
Thank you and may God continuously bless you and your families always.
