Day 62: A Card for A Cause and A Fund Raising Night at Alejandro's

 It's the 62nd day of my ICS Volunteering Journey. Sonny and I went to Ayala to have sample prints of the Photos as we planned to sell them at P30.00 as suggested by my counterpart. 

Break the Silence! Join the run!

While waiting for the prints, we roamed around the place and saw the Break the Silence Poster hanged on the side. Fun run will be in 4 days time!  

Banco de Oro! Inquiring for Remittance

 Since we plan to receive overseas donation,we dropped by Banco de Oro to inquire. Its expensive to send remittances from abroad and it would cost at least 500.00 which is even more that the minimum donation of P100.00 for our Card for A Cause. The real best option is to create a paypal account.

Back to the office, Daniel and KP were doing a video of the FSL version of the  National Anthem and Doxology for the fun run since its hard for all to gather together. It's a nice plan by the way.  

BTS materials are arriving at the office!

Break the Silence Run sponsorship are arriving at the office and for sure many more in the next few days.

The Photographer! Katrina Prado!

KP was amazed seeing her photos printed. Later this afternoon, I put on watermark of CAD's logo on the photos and went back to Ayala to print some more. 

A Card for A Cause at Alejandros

 Finally, I went immediately going to Alejandro's. I was able to sell around 18 Cards today.

Alejandro's pop quiz is very successful. There were 3 sets of questions about the Deaf Culture and Awareness. Each team had a Deaf member on their group that allowed more interaction between the participants.

Balut and Raemar, GVSP Volunteer Interpreters

Many came to support our fundraising event especially from the Deaf community and also our co-volunteers and program supervisors. We're so thankful for the support of the GVSP especially the volunteer interpreters who shared their time and skills. They are priceless!

Alejandros Pop Quiz for a Cause!

 We were able to reach beyond our fundraising targets. By the look of the participants' faces, it was indeed a mind opening experience that will surely change the way they see Deaf people.

It's not that they don't want to understand- they just lack the opportunity. And, tonight, they know that they had one! :)
