SOX Bloggers organized Blood Letting and Kawang-gawa Drive

Oh yeah! The SOX Bloggers' Blood Letting and Typing Drive was a success! We collected at least EIGHT (8) BAGS OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF BLOOD from the donors, from a 3-hour ACTIVITY last September 5 at the Robinsons Activity Center.

Super MAJOR-MAJOR thanks to those who came to that event, to donate their rare-type of blood to Philippine Red Cross-General Santos Chapter, to those who failed at the very first screening of the blood letting drive (baka nagpuyat kayo before, plus na-high blood kayo, or what, but it's ok, at least you tried to donate your blood in the first place), to SOX Bloggers who came and to assist Red Cross Volunteers (at kami 'yun), to the mall goers kanina for watching and was a part of something great kanina (oh yeah, that was my first time na namigay ako ng flyers outside the mall then someone snob me, but it's ok! Haha), to the Red Cross Volunteers and Dr. Teves, who offered their time and profession on a Sunday activity, and to the sponsors Ma'am Jinky Borela and Ate Chic Escal for the uber-daming tetra-pack juices, Rolee's Bakeshop for the yummy bread, Piyesta KTV and Resto Bar for preparing the delicious egg sandwiches and soup, Ate Donna Mae Congson and Kuya Emmanuel Sarifa for the lunch of the volunteers and bloggers, Ate Sheng Dumalay for the effort, rice and everything! :) (see her blog post about the activity), for the SOX Bloggers present before, during and after the activity and Robinson's Place Gensan for the place and lending us tables and chairs. In other words, YOU ARE A PART OF THE GROUP's SUCCESS. :)

Pagkatapos ng Blood Letting Drive sa Robinsons, SOX Bloggers decided to donate the remaining foods to the kids of St. Gemma's Orphanage, Novitiate Compound (at the back of DXCP). There, we met Ma'am Jean, the caretaker and the "mother" of 21 orphans. Agaw-eksena 'yung batang lalaki na naka-wheel chair. "WOWOWEE", he said. He's only 17, masakit man sabihin pero may sakit siya. Naging atensyon din ang 2-month old na si Baby James. Nakakalungkot mang isipin pero inabandona ng kanyang tunay na ina si Baby James. But I know that he is in the right home with his new family. At least the group made them happy through the spirit of love by sharing.

The group had a great time bonding with their new friends from the orphanage. Kahit nga ang mga bisitang bloggers na galing Manila, I'm sure they had enjoyed from their 3-day SEX (Socsksargen EXperience) Tour and visiting the orphanage. Iba na talaga ang SOCSKSARGEN Bloggers!
