333 years of Spanish rule.
We take our van to Ormoc, travelling through rice fields
where we will be welcomed by our Gawad Kalinga (GK)
Bayani hosts.
Gawad Kalinga (GK) is an incredible organisation working
in 3000 communities with a goal to lift 5million Filipinos
out of poverty by 2024. “Bayani” means Hero in the
Filipino language Tagalog. The challenge involves
volunteering in local barangays via school painting,
mangrove planting and feeding programs.
We continue our volunteering today.
We complete our Bayani Challenge today with a
celebration dinner to say goodbye to our GK hosts.

We return to Tacloban for an early night still dreaming
about Kalanggaman Island.
