10th GMM: Corinthian Lakaran: Gawad Kalinga Enchanted Farm



Since I took the Presidency for the Chapter, it has always been my dream to bring my members to the Gawad Kalinga Enchanted Farm to be inspired.  Apart from the technology they introduced to their structures, it's actually the culture that's actually contagious.



The tour starts with an orientation of what Gawad Kalinga is all about.  Participants were introduced to the Walang Iwanan concept and empowering the poor.  Interns from Europe also shared how they are involve with the group and the things they do to help the farm.


Students of S.E.E.D. or the School for Experiential and Entrepreneurial Development shared the struggles they experienced before eventually given a chance to this unique style of learning.  Instead of the traditional curriculum, they are more immersed and is designed to make businessmen out of these individuals.  They encourage them to be employers instead of an employee.


After the orientation, we were then guided to the farms facilities.  We were taken to the Ark Angel Center for Arts that holds big gatherings, The Bamboo Pavilion, The Nautilus Shaped Structure that provides a good view of the property, The Spa and the different types of Accommodation.










After the tour, we were rewarded with a meal from the farms freshest produce and sampled the products from the Small and Medium Enterprise that the farm introduced.
