One More Step to Sucess: PBO Bazaar for a Cause
From one person's wish of extending generosity and kindness to others, the Pinoy Bloggers Outreach (PBO) was born. The first attempt to put smiles in the faces of others and share some time with them was done at White Cross Children's Home. I wasn't there. I didn't know much of what happened, how they did it, but I definitely know the fulfillment they have felt after it became a huge success. All I know, I want to be part of the next project.
First thing first, I read the blogs of the others, started blogging, got introduced to great writers and personalities, and then I joined the Facebook Group of PBO where most discussions are being held, members can freely speak up their minds about the activities of the group and the likes. The search for the venue had been a struggle for we wanted to earn as much as we can yet, spend minimally for the bazaar itself. God is good! All the universe conspired. With the great help from Pasig Capitol Community Church, headed by Pastor Guerrero, we were able to find a space for our pre-loved items for sale right outside the church.
Thank you Pastor. We are deeply in debt of gratitude to you and your entire church for having us last 24th of February, 2013. Your hospitality had made it possible for our group to earn what we have at hand right now, ready to be shared to one of those institutions.
Enlisting the names and donations would take a lot of space in here. You know who you are and you know you contributed and PBO owes each of and everyone a big THANK YOU!. Rest assure that your pre-loved items are in good hands. Being bought at a very affordable price, we actually hit the bingo twice! The buyers were happy about their purchased items and the proceeds will be used for funding our next activity.
And the item I got for myself:
Sigh! The bazaar is just the start of one big goal that we want to achieve- to put smiles in the faces of those who are less fortunate than us, to share our time and talents to these people who, most likely, at one point in their lives, had lost hope and probably faith too.
As I had decided to be part of this group, I had put a challenge to myself.
It means, I would have to write and post more often because the group is that of PINOY BLOGGERS, and work in making every OUTREACH possible. We have a unified vision to take the Blogging experience to the next level by fulfilling our mission to share our heartfelt support to the less fortunate.
Nevertheless, everyone is invited to join our cause. Your donation will definitely go a long way.
