LBC Foundation: Hands On Manila 2012 Servathon

Source: Kayafc.com

This year I had the great privileged of participating in the Hands on Manila 2012 Servathon. On behalf of Kaya FC and the LBC foundation we took on the coast to clean and plant with the common goal of helping the environment. Often times it is hard to see the outcome of small actions such as picking up a piece of trash, but when you take a look  the collective impact of hundreds of hands from willing volunteers, it’s impact is quite powerful.

On October 20th, over 20 corporate teams along with 2 nonprofit organizations came together to give back to the community to make our environment a better place. Activities included a combination of mangrove planting, tree planting and coastal clean up. When the day ended the entire Servathon contributed to over 6,150 hours of service, 2,500 bags of trash collected, 250 seedling planted and over 500 mangroves planted.

This was a great experience for me and the LBC foundation team, as the morning was filled with fun, laughter and wonderful company. It’s amazing the feeling that radiates from such an event. The energy and excitement that is shared and spread is truly contagious. I am glad that I had the chance to provide a helping hand to the whole picture. It really reminds us all that we are all a small piece of the larger puzzle, and that the collective actions of our daily lives can either help or hurt our environment.

The Hands On Manila Servathon is a way of celebrating a full-day of service with hundreds of volunteers who have contributed to the development of the community and provided assistance to marginalized sectors in Metro Manila.
During the HOM Servathon day, corporations, through its team of volunteers, do various service projects simultaneously in different organizations and areas in Metro Manila.

What is Hands on Manila Servathon?”

Hands on Manila Servathon (HOM Servathon) is a day of community service that mobilizes hundreds of volunteers, both first timers as well as veterans, to work together in providing assistance to marginalized sectors. The day culminates through a recognition program that gathers all these volunteers to celebrate corporate volunteerism and its impact to the society. A Servathon is similar to a walk-a-thon except with an important difference. At a Servathon, everyone wins!

The Hands On Manila Servathon is a day that combines service, and relevant activities that are fun. It is also a fund raising event which substantially helps contribute to the running of its year-round programs.
How does it Work?
HOM Servathon encourages corporations and their career focused employees to step out of the office space, build camaraderie, and work as a team by volunteering together and helping others in a meaningful manner. It helps a company contribute to work-life balance of the employee- volunteer through community service.
Through this program, HOM offers companies its expertise in connecting motivated employees to worthwhile community projects. Through a contribution of a fixed amount of PHP 75,000, HOM will accommodate for up to 30 volunteers from a corporation. In return, HOM lends its expertise and support in the following ways:

  • Identify project that suits a company’s employees
  • Conduct volunteer orientation and education sessions for the volunteer-employees
  • Provide promotional advocacy and publicity support for the HOM Servathon and events leading to it
  • Provide logistic support and coordination at the venue (including material, shirts, and lunch)
  • Provide recognition and publicity for the activity through advertising campaign, media launch and online campaigns

I grew up playing soccer in New York City. My soccer career has always reflected my origins and is deeply routed in the concrete playgrounds of Chinatown. My enthusiasm for soccer development and cultural appreciation has shaped the course of my professional playing career. I created the Spirrs Network so that aspiring and experienced players, parents coaches and fans, can share invaluable soccer information and continue to inspire us all through the beautiful game.
