Permit me to share the words of Helen Keller. Think of it as a sisterly reminder from me: "I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still can do something; I will not refuse to do the something I can do."

The truth hit me that I have to be weak and vulnerable once in a while to make me a little braver. That was certainly an AHA! experience for me.

-En-En Billena, Naga City (June 11)-

Nakapanood na kami ng Pearl Harbor. "Nothing is stronger that the heart of a volunteer." Touching talaga ang line na yon.

-Aleihs Mandap, Candelaria (June 15)-

Sa pagpasok ko sa JVP, isa sa mga dahilan ko ay SERVICE. Ganun lang. Pero sa araw-araw na "biyahe" ko, mas lalong pinapalalim nito ang karanasan at kahulugan ng SERVICE sa akin- ito ay isang MISYON. Misyon na magsilbi sa KANYA.

-Noynoy Tena, ComVal (July 8)-

Tama nga yung sinabi ng friend ko, "We may never understand fully the ways and motives of God; but we are not required to understand them, but simply to trust them." Ngayon natutunan kong magpaubaya at magpadala sa proseso ng JVP.

-Love Dorero, Borongan(July 11)-

Alam ko na may reason ang lahat ng ito at hindi Niya ito ibibigay sa akin kung hindi ko ito kaya kakayanin ko kahit anong mangyari.

-MM Bonafe, CDO (August 13)-

Nahiya gyud ako. Naghahanap ako ng silbi, nagtatanong kung bakit, andun lang pala sila sa harapan ko. Andito lang sila sa harapan kong nagpapaalalang kami, kami ang dahilan at rason kung bakit ka andito.

-Kang Sonza (August 17)-

I understand what Im doing is not logical but I still stand firm with what I believe. That despite my inner struggles, I could still be happy and feel the abundance even in the midst of personal crisis and shortage.

-Mark Brazil, Manila(September 5)-

Di ko naman pinagsisisihan na ako ay tumahak sa daang ito dahil may kaligayahang naidudulot sa aking pagkatao na hindi matumbasan kaligayahang napakahirap ipaliwanag kasagutan sa tanong na kay tagal hinahanap-hanap, sa kalye ng JVP lang pala matatagpuan.

-Omar Tan, Hagonoy(October 3)-

I feel so appreciated and I know that I could do so much more here. Plus, it really feels good that I came from Ateneo de Manila and I'm doing my part of helping out other people-being woman for and with others. Im happily taking the road less traveled!
