dear lonely..

halcyondaysahead:

If you are the type of person who takes time to read the sometimes-senseless-stitched-words found on a page’s sidebar, then maybe you know that I, together with another friend founded a group which serves a certain chosen charity every Christmas Season. We named our small org as the Give Love on Christmas Day Project and we started out 2 years ago.

We were just students back in 2010 and we didn’t have all the riches in the world (we still do not have all the golds up until now lol) but we knew we wanted to help others. We were receiving a lot of blessings within our familes, our studies and we wanted to pay forward by helping those who are deprived of help. And so my friend Kath and I bought goodies and gave it to some children in a slum area here in Antipolo. Oh boy, it was sooooooo fulfilling! We were able to help, yes, but there was this feeling that we needed to help more! So we vowed to throw a Christmas party on the next year’s Christmas season.

2011 came and another friend, Kate, joined our charitable visions. We still didn’t have enough money to throw away a Christmas Party but we knew that we had to stay firm and reach for our dream! We thought of ways  on how to raise funds and we were able to do so eventually by selling ballers & shirts. Thanks to our dear friends who made this possible by the way. We were also able to gather some volunteers and last December 11, 2011, our very first Christmas Party came to life and we gave love to the Payatas Kids Choir.

For this year, we are again raising funds for our next projects! Please welcome back our Love shirts! We had a photoshoot yesterday with 3 of our college friends, Kenneth, Kristine and Ranel @ UP Diliman and this photo is just a sneak peak of the said shoot.

We shot more than 300 pictures! It is sure fun modelling for a cause and for love right?
