Angels In Our Midst

Name : Ate Bai Linda and Dondi
From : GK PMG and Service Teams, respectively
Sleeps : we don't see them sleep
Age : Youth na Youth


The best part of the Youth Build is learning the rudiments from those who have been there, who've done that and are willing to spend time teaching. Bai Linda and Dondi are the best in what they do.

If not for them, half of the time of the Build would've been spent finding our way, literally. They show us the ropes, teach us the tricks and of course - pay for everything that we need to spend on.

More than that, they were with us to share their passion for GK and why they're there inspite and despite of.

Bai Linda, the first Muslim, in a Christian-dominated movement, certainly allowed us to appreciate GK more and its ideals. She was the most patient and proved to have shown real love among all the participants, willing to share her time, her stories, and her food!!!
Ibang klase, ka Ate Bai

Don, or Dondi, was there since we arrived from the airport. He was our "big brother" who even taught us several words we never knew before, "Helller!". Always upbeat and on the go despite the circumstance, it wasn't complete when he had to join the Batangas leg instead of our build in Marinduque. (But he was there too, in the likeness of a small child, 'chong, kamukha mo talaga).

Bai Linda and Don were the real angels in our team. Without them, the build wouldn't feel complete. With them, our experience was a lot more fulfilling.

We hope to get in touch at least once in a while. Hopefully, til our next Youth Build - ulit! Hellllller!
