gawad kalinga

For the 3rd year in a row, Long Beach California's Zeta Phi Rho continued their commitment to the Gawad Kalinga (GK) cause to present "Raise the Roof III".  Students, friends and family, community members, and performers alike came together in support of these gentlemen's efforts to enjoy a successful night filled with awe-inspiring dance, song, and overwhelming servings of laughter.


Close to 900 Pilipinos from the DMV (DC, Maryland, and Virginia) converged onto George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia for "Makinig II." "Makinig," meaning "to listen," was a show put on by GMU's Pilipino Cultural Association and the Asian Pacific American Council with donations and proceeds going to Gawad Kalinga's Operation GK: Walang Iwanan, which is aimed at providing relief efforts for those victimized by Typhoon Ondoy.


The 3rd Annual Bowl4GK took place in Las Vegas, Nevada on Martin Luther King Weekend with participants hailing from Northern and Southern California Pilipino College Organizations.  This youth gathering takes place every year not only to run a friendly bowling competition and to provide a social networking forum, but it most importantly promotes the Gawad Kalinga movement.
