outstanding volunteers 2008
"Volunteers are not paid not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless."
Aside from December being the month dedicated to Overseas Filipino Workers, it is also dedicated to the other version of Pinoy modern heroes, the Volunteers.
Photos in the above slideshow were taken during the Awarding of the Outstanding Volunteers of the Year organized by the Philippine Association for Volunteer Efforts and the National Economic Development Authority held on December 8, 2008 at Manila Hotel.
Mark Aethen Agana (South Cotabato) is one of this year's awardees, in the Youth Category (that's me). Being a volunteer, it elated me very much being surrounded by fellow Filipinos who see volunteerism and community service a potential force of nationbuilding.
This National Award for Volunteerism I received is dedicated to my fellow volunteers in Mindanao. This is OUR fruit of love to realize and weave the dreams of the Youth in South Cotabato, guys. To the T'nalak Youth Group - Pathways to Higher Education, I salute you guys for continuing building paths for a better Mindanao. Padayon!
The true meaning of being a VOLUNTEER is hidden in the letters of the word. Scrabble and arrange the letters in the word and you will be surprised that TRUE LOVE N is formed, where N (for me) is NOW and NEIGHBORS. Thus, like Christ, volunteerism is an expression of true love for our brothers and should be acted now.
Mabuhay ang bawat Pilipinong Voluntir!

Salamat din sa pagtulong sa pagtayo ng matibay na TYG sa Mindanao. The award is for all of us. Yehey!
Btw, nakilala ko ang project head ng JVP during sa awarding sa Manila Hotel. Nakalimutan ko pangalan nya. Ayos.
