Good evening!
Friends, family, countrymen, people sa tabi-tabi... nais ko pong hingin ang inyong tulong. I know that some of you know that I write for a youth/family magazine entitled CodeRed (subscribe kayo! Maganda sya pramis. ^__^). We are a quarterly publication that focuses on different values that the youth should ideally possess. Yes, we have Christian/Catholic roots (because our publisher are the Salesians of Don Bosco through Fr. Armand Robleza) but our stories transcend religious boundaries, and can extend to as far as social responsibility.
In every issue, I do a story focusing on the issue's theme (most of the time it's a certain value like Hope, Justice, Community, Belongingness, etc.) My editor has a knack for right timing, because most of the time, she sends my assignments whenever I'm in the busiest time of my life (say, Finals Week or Presentation Week). Good thing that for the next issue, she sent it to me just now, when I'm a bit lax with school even though busy with internship.
Now, onto the part where I need your help. Here's my assignment for next issue:
YOUR ARTICLE: “It takes a village to raise a child.”
• Feature a young achiever whose integrity has been shaped by the community he grew up in. (take note: not his family.)
• Highlight his community involvement and how he became more aware of his goals in life.
• Maybe you can find someone from a minority tribe who left his roots and found himself a better person in the city; OR vice versa; someone who left a comfortable city life to volunteer in a remote area (someone like of Jika David.)
• Please include relevant photos.
Since ganito ang theme, I'm thinking something more on the lines of somebody leaving his bonggacious lifestyle to pursue social work or community development or cultural integration elsewhere. I'm also thinking along the lines of The Coconuter, what do you think? Or pwede rin namang SK Kagawad/Chairman, since community involvement, no?
Uggghhh... this is excruciating. Please do email me or send me a text message (you know my number) if you happen to know someone who fits the description. May libreng chocolate saken ang malaki ang maitutulong. Hehe! =P

err... sorry, don't know anyone. good luck, though. =)
ReplyDeleteHmm. One of my high school friends left for Davao, I think, to volunteer there for a year yata. How about her? ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, you write for Code Red pala! I've always wanted to contribute a piece or two. Haha. Bosconians kasi brothers ko so I get to see the magazine. Hehe. :) Can't help you with this article, pero ey, lemme know if there's anything I can write hehehe!
ReplyDeletehmm.. =\
ReplyDeletei think i can find someone.pero nagbago ako ng number at wala na number mo sakin pati number nya.kelan mo kelangan?
ReplyDeleteDude, bloggers. Dami. Lalo na yung mga taga-Kafagway who're settling in Manila right now (for school, work, etc). Gawd, I know a lot of people like these, mga nakilala ko when I was in UP Baguio, but sadly, wala na akong contact sa kanila (and guess why *roll eyes* darn phone).
ReplyDeletePwede rin na you ask around sa STAND-UP people. I'd say Atom Araullo (just to make it clear though, I do not like him), but he hasn't completely left his bonggacious lifestyle, obviously. I know a few of them people who have gone to the, uhm, mountains, but I'm not exactly in good terms with them.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful than that. ^_^
Note: Find a student from CSWCD. I'm sure may makikita ka dun! :D
I actually have some people in mind that you may consider. One is my classmate who's now an SK Chairman in our Barangay. Kung icoconsider mo, I'll text or message you their names. :D
