Good Deeds

Pin It Now!

I am amazed at how different people can be, yet they can be united with a single goal.

the usual meeting place: Guadalupe Church

Last week, July 15, a group of hiking and trekking enthusiasts in Cebu got together to share an amazing day with some kids in Kahugan, Sapangdaku. This area is a part of  a trail that a number of local hiking enthusiasts frequent. Personally, I also like the trail being easy and convenient especially if you are looking for a sweaty day trek. Since the place is a go-to place for us, we've also befriended a number of the locals.

This is one of the reasons why we are giving back to the community who've allowed us many times to pass by the place. Kahugan, like other mountain areas in Cebu City, is not that privileged. Most of the locals live in small huts and don't have much. No matter how difficult we think life is for us, these people have more problems. We are still more privileged compared to them. 

the school supplies. thanks sponsors!

This is the second time (or third) that a group of trekkers are giving away school supplies to the kids in Kahugan. It's nice to see kids excited with what you're giving them, even if it's not much. It's also nice to see people help with this great cause.

The train wasn't really as easy as we wanted, especially when it rained the night before. I also brought with me a friend from NYC who was having a bit difficulty with the trail. However, all the sweat and hard work paid off once you get to see the kids happy with what you gave them.

butoooong

hello blue sky! :)

You don't really need to organize a big event just to give back to any community. Oftentimes, it only takes a drunken night to instigate such an activity.
