Thank you GFI Volunteers and Partners!

8 Galing Foundation, Inc. boxes arrived last week from the shipment done in December 2016 and January 2017. The contents were sorted out by GFI Mindanao Outreach volunteers (Gimalyn Ditan, Daisy Ranoa, Jocelyn Robles) to benefit Maligo Day Care School, Maligo Elementary School and Landan National High School all located in Polomolok, South Cotabato. Turn over to the different schools will be done in time for the school year opening. Thank you GFI Mindanao partners!

Thank you as well to Ms. Gemma Bennett for the book donations and art work crafting materials, Makabayan Georgia, Inc. and Caring for Others, Inc. thru the Fil-Am Association of Greater Atlanta for the shoes donation in 2016. Thank you Cross of Life Church - Social Concerns Committee in Roswell, Georgia for the grant supporting the shipping of the boxes.

"The shoes will be of great help for the students and will be a big surprise for them in the school opening. The grade levels that might fit the shoe sizes will be from Day Care School to Grade 3. I will coordinate with Maligo Elementary School Principal for pre-identification of student recipients in time for the school opening in June." - Jocelyn Robles, GFI Mindanao Outreach Coordinator
