Rock 4 GK Photos

Gawad Kalinga (GK) is a charity program that provides a community-focused solution to the problem of poverty. Translated in English, it means to "to give care" and incorporates the simple strategy of providing land for the landless, homes for the homeless, food for the hungry and dignity and peace to those who give and receive aid.

I'm involved with a charity called Gawad Kalinga (or GK) - a Filipino word meaning "to give care". GK is involved in building housing for the poor in Philippines and in Papua New Guinea and is also involved in programs an various other countries. Previous events I've covered for them was the NSW Coronation for Miss GK, GK Harvest and my own trip to the Philippines to visit some of the GK villages on the GKYGAT Tour with 77 other Aussies. Last Sunday, about 40 plue people from GK, young and old went for a 14km run from Hyde Park to Bondi Beach to fundraise for the charity. Click to read more and see the pictures...

GK Harvest came and went really fast. Congratulations on a successful event everyone! Great job GKOM! You can view the event photos at this gallery. GK Harvest is an event run by GK-Youth to promote Gawad Kalinga (English:"To Give Care") and showcase GK events and programs like Miss GK and GKYGAT.
