GK Youth Build - "Building Communities. Building the Youth
- and now Building Relationships"

Today was a special day. Via the video above, you'll be witness to a surprise party the GK Village Caretaker team hatched for our birthday girl - Ruby. (Click the movie above and see for yourself.)

The birthday party didn't end during breakfast, after finishing our landscaping of the model house, we continued doing jewelries with the manangs and played with the kids and prepared for the bigger party that night.

We had lugaw party with 60 kids and dancing and swimming and a lot of fun! It was a memorable birthday for Ruby, for the manangs and most especially for the kids.

Looking back at the GK Youth Build program, we were successful in many aspects that Gawad Kalinga has been known for - that is of building relationships and nurturing this with the GK beneficiaries. There is no one-time dole out nor plain outreach. There is a cemented relationship that can last for a long time.

Day 4's activities did a lot of relationship building and a lot of eating and dancing too.
