GK ENCHANTED FARM: A very relaxing experience!

-

 


Last June 27-28, 2014, GK Enchanted Farm organized a free-weekend for Bloggers. It was a privilege to be invited to this one of a kind event not only because I got a chance to bond with my fellow bloggers but believe it or not, it's my very first time to set my feet in the "farm"! But, it is not my first time to heard about GK Enchanted Farm. I got some infos when Mr. Tony Meloto, considered as the father of Gawad Kalinga, was being interviewed on TV. It's very interesting to know about this non-profit organization. There are lots of aspiring Social Entrepreneurs, Foreign and Local interns involved, deserving beneficiaries, quality products, etc. I  really enjoyed the free tour at the farm and the demos of Social Enterprises as well. It was  a great escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.


 

Here are some photos taken during the tour and demos...
