OTHER EVENTS

  1. 30-31 January 2010, 3:00 PM. Padyak Para sa Binhi ng Kordi 2009. Last year a group of young adventurous Cordillerans rode 24 hours non-stop across rough mountain roads, seeking pledges for every kilometer covered in 24 hours. On November 15 and 16, 2008, they were able to cover 206 kilometers riding into the night, through the cold, heat, mud and rocks of the Cordillera mountains in just 24 hours. In the process they were able to raise enough money to reforest 5 hectares of land in Taba-ao, Kapangan Benguet and raise the awareness of the local community about the plight of the Cordillera forests. See links: 1, 2. Due to the destruction caused by recent typhoons, Padyak Para sa Binhi ng Kordi 2009 (originally set for November 14 and 15) was rescheduled to January 30, 2010 (3 pm) to January 31, 2010 (3 pm). BE PART OF THE CORDILLERA’S REFORESTATION! Follow the link for pledge mechanics: go here for more information.
    • Padyak Para sa Binhi is for the reforestation of damaged areas in Benguet. Any donation of tree seedlings (lots of these) such as coffee, narra, pine, would go a long long way. More information on that project here. Although it says on the site that they aren’t accepting seedling pledges, they are already accepting seedling donations.

FUNDRAISERS / SALE DONATIONS

  1. P1,000 for Ondoy for every purchase of “150: The Ateneo Way” book. For the month of October 2009, from every sale of the coffee table book “150: The Ateneo Way” by Fr.

  2. A Nation of Heroes. A Nation of Heroes is a book writing project, the output of which is a collection of 50 stories of heroism (including profiles of the heroes) during and after the typhoons Ondoy, Pepeng, etc. The stories will be written by college students and young professionals. The public will be part of the search for stories as they will be asked to share heroic deeds they have witnessed or have heard of, during the calamity. A panel will choose the stories that will be included. Read more, visit us at http://anationofheroes.wordpress.com/ The project aims to:

  1. Salidummay, cultural group of the Cordillera Peoples Alliance, will hold a free concert Oct17 8pm at Quezon Memorial Circle, QC Donations in cash or kind for typhoon victims in Baguio City and the Cordilleras will be accepted during the event.

  2. Raising funds for support can be a challenge and donations have seen a decline in recent years due to a bad economy. Some organization have figured out a way to raise funds at no cost to them.
    Most organizations when they hear this get real excited and curious and would like more information. Some organizations, honestly, you know the type, don’t. They rather complain they don’t have enough funding, complain why more people don’t give, and continue to do low ROI efforts instead of looking at some information that might be able to help their organization and their members/supporters.
