Reverse Carolling 2011 update!

We're really excited as Reverse Carolling 2011 preparations are now in full swing. After successfully raising enough funds for 400 families, we have now bought and started packing the food hampers. In Montalban, our Balikatan members are busy practicing their Christmas carols and strumming their guitars to master the chords!

Last weekend, Jitka and Gemma visited the families in Tagaytay to inform them about our visits. It was an adventurous trip as they trekked down steep slops to reach the families. We wonder how we will carry the 7kg hampers and guitars down ...

Last weekend, we also met our volunteers from Singapore who will join us for the Reverse Carolling. We had a nice time sharing our past experience of Reverse Carolling and answering some of their questions.

Above all, we are extremely grateful for the blessings and support from all the fundraising efforts of our friends who actively helped us promote the event and for our generous benefactors who donated for the food hampers.

We will continue to keep you updated as the preparations continue. Please keep us in your prayers!
