The first planned activity...

From the outset, the club has been trying to get involved more proactively in the activities of GK.Language is the biggest issue we faced. we have been trying to figure out how we get contribute more effectively with tangible results.We went to San Andres Bukid, a GK site, to see what we could do to help.

San Andres, is essentially the ground zero for GK. This place is politically sensitive,
a hotbed of criminal activity, and full of people living in abject poverty.The need for social change was very visible here.


The GK coordinator Raul S. Remiterre, at San Andres had been very forthcoming and receptive to our ideas and will be coordinating with us from Gk side.We were very exited by the possibilities and have
decided to make San Andres Bukid the place to conduct our activity.

The Philantripy Club was planning organize a First aid workshop the following weekend at San Andres.we were in the process of getting the logistics in place. Dr Sarah Galido, who works at the AIM clinic had volunteered to help us out with this activity.This was to be the first activity of our club and we hoped to have good participation from AIM students,
GK and the target community. The idea was to get the momentum going and generate interest in the students at AIM towards the club positives to sustain its activities.
But due to some technical reasons we could not conduct the workshop.we were not overly disappointed about this minor setback.We decided to move on and look for newer opportunities.
Our key takeaway, from this activity was the fact that when it comes to final execution of any project, we must assume that anything that can go wrong will go wrong and we need to react accordingly, or better still, be prepared for it.
We went back to the drawing board to chalk out the first activity for the club.
