The faces that reflect the genuine gratitude to the people behind the GFI is worthy to note. As stressed by Maam Nimfa, that no words can exactly portray the happiness, joy and gratitude to LNHS to GFI.
Barangay Captain Gulli Lakim once said that GFI provide not only knowledge to the student but GFI help produce better leaders from LNHS capacitated by the materials that the Galing Foundation, Inc. bestowed to the school. He admitted that the Department of Education and the Barangay cannot provide the materials for the students and he commend GFI for the good heart and choose LNHS as one of its recipients.

He also noted that they are blessed to have GFI in their school because though they studied in a remote barangay but they have an international standard of books, laboratory equipment and reference materials that equipped them to a higher level of learning.
Thanks a lot for GFI for letting me experience this once in a life time opportunity to be of service to the students, to the school, to the teachers and to the public as a whole. Though, being a coordinator is a task that needs commitment and passion as it is an added work load on top of my busy schedule but I love to share my time to segregate books, arrange the schedule of transport and turn over as well as monitor the library development progress for the school. This is something that makes me a better person. When I heard the words coming from the Principal, PTCA President, Teachers, Students and Barangay Officials, I felt the value of what I have done as a volunteer coordinator along with other local GFI volunteers. I don’t need to be recognized but since they spoke up their heart, I saw their joy and gratitude to the efforts of Galing Foundation, Inc. Thank you so much to all the partners and supporters of GFI! -Jocelyn Latimban Carino-Robles GFI Mindanao Outreach Coordinator
