Gawad Kalinga is a movement to abolish poverty by building homes for the homeless, that began in the Philippines and is now spreading across the world. Speakers came to the University of South Florida on Saturday to speak about the difference they make in the lives of the homeless and how USF Bulls can get involved with making this change as well.

USF Student Melissa Barrido shared her story about how life changing it was for her when she went to the Philippines last summer and helped build homes for the homeless and what a great experience it was helping others.

A student organization representing Gawad Kalinga on the USF campus is currently being formulated and if you are interested in the helping the poor and donating some of your time and effort to a good cause, you should seek out this new organization.

You can add the Facebook Group for the new organization at: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=176438917387&ref=ts

Don’t miss this recent blockbuster…the highest vote-getter in CAB’s survey of which movies USF students wanted to see this fall.

“A Las Vegas-set comedy centered around three groomsmen who lose their about-to-be-wed buddy during their drunken misadventures, then must retrace their steps in order to find him.”

“Some guys just can’t handle Vegas”
