Gawad Kalinga at the University of Arizona

Last 4 March 2008, Dylan and Anna Wilk along with their two babies, Nathan Mari, and their cousin visited the University of Arizona and talked about Gawad Kalinga and the Highway of Hope caravan. They are on a 65-city speaking tour which will culminate in San Diego on Memorial Day weekend. Their speaking tour seeks to generate awareness on Gawad Kalinga as well as to recruit volunteers to the GK One Million Bayani (Heroes) volunteers or GK1MB program.

At short notice, close to 30 persons attended including the heads/ officers of the Filipino-American Sampaguita Club of Tucson (FASCOT), the Filipino-American Students of the University of Arizona (FASA), the U. of Arizona multicultural office, the U. of Arizona international students office, the Diocese of Tucson, students, and residents of Tucson.

Dylan eventually wrote about his trip to Tucson and his hope for a GK Arizona village with saguaro cacti, boots, and spurs as village symbols. We hope so!

Check out the videos below.
