Members of the CFC-Singles for Christ (San Mateo Chapter), a ministry of the Couples for Christ, working as volunteer-facilitators for the Child and Youth Development programs (SAGIP & SIGA) of Gawad Kalinga (GK). GK provides a support program for children of elementary age, from 7 to 12 years old through the program called SAGIP, which means “to save a life” in the Filipino language. The SIGA program, meanwhile, provides a strong youth rehabilitation program where juvenile delinquents are provided with a range of activities and counseling sessions to help them live productive lives without committing them to rehab institutions. SIGA in the Filipino language means “to light.”


The community has upcoming conferences and activities which will help enrich the lives of the Gawad Kalinga kids. In line with this, they are inviting you to be part of an event that will help raise the funds needed to support the program’s activities. A badminton tournament, “Smash for a Cause” will be held on March 15, 2008, from 2 to 6pm in the afternoon. This will be held at Tibulong Badminton Court and Restaurant, along the highway of Nangka, Marikina City. Registration will be 160 pesos per pair. They will be giving out tokens of appreciation as prizes to the winners. Registration is through text and deadline is until March 09, 2008. The event is open to all SFC and non-SFC members who are badminton enthusiasts, beginners and everyone who wants to have fun and share their blessings at the same time.
For more details and registration, you may contact Dave Halili (0920-8453134/997-0703) or Mitzie Epino (0919-8823935)
