This video highlights how GK is addressing the poverty and slum-dwelling issues in the Philippines; how everyone from all sectors of society are pitching in, including corporations and the international community. The video was shown at the 2006 Ramon Magsaysay Awards Foundation (RMAF) where GK and its then executive director, Tony Meloto were separately presented the award for community leadership. GK was the first organization to receive the award in the foundation's (RMAF) 49 yr. history. It was also the first time for an organization and it's executive director to receive the award separately. http://www.gawadkalinga.org/ http://www.amcopusa.org/ info@ancopusa.org

    Thanks for your comment. Education as we define it (proper) is the least of their priorities. Survival comes first. Our first teacher is our parents and if born into generations of poverty, it becomes a way of life. The chain has to be broken. The poor needs a hand up and not a hand-me-down. We all need to be "educated" on this.

    What is a crime is to have poverty in a rich land like the Philippines. Let's all walk the walk TOGETHER!!! Pointing fingers is easy. To be a hero is noble.

    One of the main factor that leads to poverty is uneducated and extremely poor people having multiple childrens that they can not afford to raise and that should be a crime, child born into poverty. Well done GK, I like the farm that was set up.

    Thanks for your comment. GK is all-inclusive, even corrupt politicians can be transformed. Corruption is only an effect of a deeper cause. Many have joined GK in its mission and vision. GK is more than a movement - it's a lifestyle.
