I love walking. It’s
the only activity that I enjoy apart from swimming. Walking gives me a sense of
“me-time” especially since I am moving at a slower pace. I’m able to look
around, observe people, discover small cafes, street art, interesting graffiti
and other things that would normally be blur when you’re inside a moving
vehicle—and to me, that’s pretty relaxing. Imagine my delight when I was
invited to cover a blog conference organized by ANCOP (Answering the Cry of
the Poor) called “Global Walk:
Beyond Your Walk, their Dreams” whose goal is to spend one Sunday morning
for an advocacy walk in order to send deserving children back to school. The
said event is slated to happen and break records on August 14, 2016 to be held at the SM Mall of Asia grounds (near Ecommerce Building along the Bay). Now
on its 6th year, ANCOP are expecting more people to lace up and join
them in their advocacy. They believe that taking a step will help make the
scholars dream to come true.
ANCOP began 12 years
ago in Canada when they thought of organizing an event where people of all ages
and all walks of life can participate in raising funds for education and
likewise create an awareness about ANCOP. ANCOP is Couple’s for Christ’s work
with the poor initiative.
