"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
A frizzly fall breeze and modest drizzles on a Saturday
afternoon didn't stop Galing Foundation's enthusiasm
to send a message of love to our young citizens
and the Fil-Am community.
The well-prep Kid's program preluded by a Liturgical
celebration with Rev.Fr. J.Reynie Paraon defines the
wisdom and spiritual grassroots of Philippine Americans
in Georgia. C.O.N.C.E.R.N, indeed, as his message of
"love your neighbor" poured generously even to the littliest
ones. Couldn't be prouder....
Galing's goal of literacy bridged us between two countries
across the miles reaching each other's hand to bond and
be a part of a cause to belong.
The children responded enthusiastically to the teachers'
pedagogical prowess and that is what this event is all about...
About our children who will shape the future of two countries
bonded by faith, affinity, roots, and by determination to inherit
a culture like no other.
Again, an honor to be invited, a pleasure to be with the "best"
FilAm kids, and their young parents whose effort to make a
difference was proded by a meaningful afternoon we will never
forget.
All these, because of the Filipino Veterans who opened the
door to stride for American dreams by shedding blood saving
world peace and democracy for us.
Congratulations PANIG for bringing us to the table of e-barangays.
Congratulations Galing for being literacy nurturing Georgians.
Greater Atlanta's LIteracy through Networking Georgians
Foundation, we salute your heroism touching the lives of our
children here and across the miles.
