1st Blood Letting Drive of SOX Bloggers

The very 1st Blood Letting and Typing Drive of SOX Bloggers was a huge success. It was held at Robinson's Place of General Santos City. This almost 4 hours activity was able to gathered 8 bags from walk-in donors. Many of us bloggers would like to donate but we failed for the first screening due to lack of sleep because we have visitors (bloggers eyeball) from Manila, taking medications, blood pressure were up, young bloggers have not reach 50 kgs. required to donate, and coughing but at least we tried and like to help. It was only Sir Gilbert Tan who passed among the bloggers who attend the said activity. You rock!

The Red Cross Volunteers of Gensan and Dr. Teves was very friendly to make the donor very comfortable to the procedure and interview to make sure you are healthy to donate. Some of us gave flyers outside the mall and guess what? For the time I did that, some accept the flyers I gave the others just ignored me.

This is an achievement for us bloggers because we were able to help in our own little way to save someone life. Due to the high dengue cases here in Philippines we were able to help. I know someone who passed away 2 weeks ago because of dengue. Happiness what we feel after the activity.

At St. Gemma's Orphanage with SOX Bloggers and Orphans

Since we have so many remaining food we decided to visit St. Gemma's Orphanage, Novitiate Compound and shared the food with them. The eyes of the 21 orphans was so happy to see us. There we meet Ms. Jean the caretaker.

That was long day but it was very meaningful to all of us. Everyone felt HAPPINESS in our heart after the activity. Looking forward for more community service for a good cause. Mabuhay ang SOCCSKSARGEN BLOGGERS!
