Hallmark for LIFE 2006 Turnover

Memories of LIFE...

Hallmark for LIFE 2006 Turnover

This video is simple, but touching...

Kath of Hallmark Philippines made this video. Yup, it's not me who made this, but im adding it here anyway, I told her about it :) I was really touched with this video, actually, it's more of a photo slideshow made into a simple music video. I got this video during the Leukemic Indigents Fund Endowment (LIFE) turnover of funds from Hallmark to LIFE.

Hallmark was able to give almost half a million pesos for LIFE this year - which is the largest in 7 years, according to Hallmark Philippines President Maximo Licauco.

Some people from the Sales Dept of Hallmark told me my Christmas Card design had many orders last Yuletide season. It's an honor really to help for this cause. :)

My Experience as a Hallmark for L. I. F. E. Artist

This is my first blog entry here. And it's nice to start off with something really worthwhile.  The contract signing of Hallmark for L. I. F. E. artists for 2006 last Aug. 16, 2006 was a really great experience... I never thought that contributing my artwork for this endeavor could really make me this fulfilled as an artist. It makes me inspired really, especially the artwork I contributed includes two of my main characters from my short film "Aninag." May Hallmark for L. I. F. E.'s mission and vision be realized in every year that it gives life to the leukemic children who benefit from this wonderful project. This is the article about the project from Hallmark's website: http://www.filstar.com.ph/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=6&Itemid=2   Hallmark for L.I.F.E. It is a sad reality that more and more children are being diagnosed with leukemia.  It is a depressing reality that the parents of most of these children cannot afford the medication to cure cancer.  It is a tragedy if we do not  do anything about it. There is hope when there is life. For eleven  years now, Filstar Distributors Corporation, licensee of Hallmark Cards in the Philippines, and the Leukemic Indigents Fund Endowment (L.I.F.E.), a charitable organization headed by the late Dr. Alendry Caviles, have been working hand-in-hand to lighten the burden of Filipino families experiencing the double tribulation of disease & poverty and to raise awareness on the alarming rate of young leukemic indigents in the country through the project, Hallmark for l.i.f.e. This Christmas, be that hope to l.i.f.e. Take part in this worthy endeavor by sending Hallmark for l.i.f.e.
