Elijah: The INC Giving projects just keep growing as we keep rolling forward. We’re like one big INC Giving projects snowball of kindness and I really just want to thank all of the INC Giving volunteers from around the world who share their stories with us to feature here. We wouldn’t have an episode without you!
Elijah: Hi again everyone, I’m Elijah and I look forward to sharing another weekly recap episode with you guys. Do we have some cleanup drives in this week’s episode? Of course we do!
Elijah: INC Giving volunteers in Henderson, Las Vegas and South Las Vegas, Nevada, as well as Phoenix, Arizona, helped to clean up the community parks. You know, beautifying parks and getting your steps in, that’s a win-win.
Elijah: Over 7000 miles away in Cairns, Australia, a cleanup drive was held to help those recently affected by a cyclone in the region. We hope anyone affected is well and recovering from that natural disaster.
Elijah: In the neighboring country of New Zealand, INC Giving volunteers help to beautify Ngati Ōtara Park in Metro Auckland and the shores of Shakespeare Beach in Whangaparaoa. I’d honestly love to visit New Zealand or Australia. One day. One day I will.
Elijah: Now heading back over to North America, INC Giving volunteers in Cincinnati, Ohio helped clean up and make their neighborhoods safer by shoveling snow and putting salt in the pavement walkways. Looks like they kept their warm smiles despite the cold day.
Elijah: Now, these next few cleanups all take place in the Philippines. At the Quezon Provincial Capital, INC Giving volunteers from Lucena City help to cleanup the grounds and even the large fountain area.
Elijah: Posted on the Lingap Ko Barangay Ko Facebook page, here’s another coastal cleanup by INC Giving volunteers in Santa Rosa, Laguna, Philippines. Just look at all of those INC Giving volunteers.
Elijah: Here’s another community cleanup that was held at Rodriguez Highway, Rizal by INC Giving volunteers from Tagumpay 1, District of Central.
Elijah: Next, we have some appreciation days! Free lunches and refreshments were given to the residents of Barangay Bunagit in Esperanza, Philippines. I’m sure all the neighbors appreciated these treats.
Elijah: Back in Las Vegas, Nevada, invitations were extended to neighboring residents and businesses in the communities of Blue Diamond, Summerlin and Centennial Hills. Guests were treated to delicious snacks and free entertainment as well as free haircuts and health checks. What an awesome way to help our neighbors take care of their well-being.
Elijah: This next INC Giving project is in Tanza, Cavite, Philippines, where Joeveline Ybañez has offered free online English classes. Not only was she willing to share language learning, she also shared her faith.
Elijah: In Metro Manila South, Philippines, INC Giving volunteers provided free dental checkups. More free medical and dental checkups were provided to community members at Kalunasan Barangay Hall in Cebu City. You know, some people just aren’t able to afford the cost of basic health care, so it’s really great to see these free services being offered.
Elijah: There is also another dental mission that was held at Barangay Salusoy Covered Court in Meycauayan, Philippines. Anyone else love going to the dentist? Anyone?
Elijah: And finally, here’s a medical mission for senior citizens. They were offered a free checkup and provided with free medicine. We should all help to take care of our senior citizens.
Elijah: I think that wraps up this week’s recap. As always, check out all of the updates, vlogs and tools on our INCGiving.org website and remember to do good whenever you possibly can.
Elijah: Bye. See you guys next week.
