![[Beneficiary] Gawad Kalinga](http://kpopcon.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/280x230_GK.jpg "[Beneficiary] Gawad Kalinga")
In the previous years, our beneficiary has been Gawad Kalinga. Proceeds from the 2nd Philippine Kpop Convention went to the Kalinga sa Bayan campaign particularly to fund the activities for the 2011 Bayani Challenge in Bantayan Island in Cebu. This year, we will extend our cause to animal welfare in our country through the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS).
Typhoon Sendong GK Operation Walang Iwanan Activated!
December 23, 2012
It is barely two days before Christmas, and our teams are still hard at work for GK Operation Walang Iwanan. As of today we have established our operation centers and distribution network delivering relief to three most badly hit cities, Dumaguete, Cagayan de Oro and Iligan.
We are focusing on three modes of intervention during this relief stage of the response:
1. Delivery of relief goods to remote areas
2. Establishing 3C (child care centers) in selected evacuation centers where we conduct feeding and play therapy to victims
3. Establishing a soup kitchen in selected areas.
We hope that the relief stage of the response will not be prolonged. We are already evaluating options for relocation sites together with the appropriate government agencies.
We would like to honor all our partners who have contributed generously, and our volunteers who continue to share their time throughout this holiday season to bring hope to the victims. There is still so much more to be done, and we appeal to everyone to be our brothers keepers.
Thank you for this act of solidarity.
In behalf of Team GK,
Luis Oquinena
