 GEMS Mission receives 8 Rondlla Instruments

George Gange Donates Philippine Instruments

BE A RONDALLA HERO! 

SUPPORT PAGYAMANIN LIKAS MUSIKA (PLM)- RONDALLA INSTRUMENTS LENDING PROGRAM

You may donate any amount or for the whole community's instruments needs for $300.00. If the donor wants, we could request the rondalla group they are donating for be named after them or in the memory of a loved one for a year.

VISION

 Help preserve and promote the playing and appreciation of the native Philippines Rondalla instruments.

OBJECTIVE

Promote awareness of this unique aspect of Philippines heritage, to generate support from well-meaning patrons and sponsors, and to increase the number of rondalla aficionados, especially those who could not otherwise afford to acquire the instruments. It is hoped that this will ensure a permanent interest in this national treasure and could help keep alive and well the rondalla instrument making craft and industry.

MECHANICS

 From a subset of solicited funds or instruments, a marginalized barangay/village is selected as the target beneficiary. Once resources and responsible contact persons have been identified, eight (8) rondalla instruments(4 bandurrias, 1 laud, 1 octavina and 2 guitars) are loaned for the freestyle training of its underprivileged children.  Upon successful compliance with the minimum requirements, the beneficiary village eventually becomes the owner of the rondalla instruments, thereby providing for successive groups of children to enjoy and master the skills of rondalla music. 

Since the program’s inception, the number of nominated marginalized villages has increased. However, the funds I have generated through various creative activities -- from  busking, collecting and selling aluminum cans and plastic bottles to asking friends and families for assistance – were insufficient to keep up with demand. The program now has eight (8) village beneficiaries that include an orphanage in Davao and a GK Encanto in Angat, Bulacan and a Philippines National School for the Blind serving hundreds of underprivileged children. To date, 6 additional villages have been nominated and are awaiting delivery of their rondalla instruments.

INVITATION

Become an agent of change by investing in the future of our children. Together, let us work to build a healthier and stronger communities by helping level the playing field for our less fortunate children through the iconic rondalla tradition.

Anyone donating to the Pagyamanin Likas Musika (PLM)/Rondala Instruments Lending program receives a fully deductible tax receipt from Outreach Asia, a 501c(3) organization.

Support this worthwhile and novel program by making a tax-deductible contribution to Pagyamanin Likas Musika.  If sending a check, make out to Outreach Asia.

Sean has made several contributions to Outreach Asia and will begin sponsoring a student at So. Leyte Univ on Nov. 1. We asked him how he heard about our organization and he sent this email:
 
" I'm 16 years old....I go to Pearl City High School..I play football..I use to live in the Philippines at Angles City so I know how those kids feel..I heard about Outreach Asia by reading a book about Mother Teresa. It inspired me to give more money since I can't volunteer because I'm to busy with sports, school, and church..And your letters back (to me) of what you used my money on, just lifts me up..It makes me feel like I made a big difference in someones life..So thank you"
