Simple acts of kindness and caring merits us the privilege of progressing to the real essence of our being. It is through this generous involvement that constitutes us to connect to our fellows especially those who have touched our hearts. It is through this initiative that we are imploring your assistance for the fulfillment of our next project.
Adhering firmly to its objectives, our organization, the Triskelion International - Kingdom of Bahrain, the consolidation of Tau Gamma Phi and Tau Gamma Sigma, is always active in participating and promoting various charitable services especially to the Filipino community. Since its first establishment under the auspices of the Philippine Embassy on June 24, 2004 in the Kingdom of Bahrain, our organization has dynamically accomplished a number of activities to be able to reach out to the needy and be of benevolent service to the people. These noble causes are in coordination with various institutions for the benefit of our less fortunate compatriots and other victims of natural calamities.
Now in line with our projects structure, we propose to organize the Medical Mission 2007. It is the fourth of the series of medical campaign that we started last May 2005 in cooperation with medical practitioners from different organizations spearheaded by Dr. Ivan Escartin, Dr. Lito & Dra. Josephine Fernandez of the Philippine Embassy, and other volunteer nurses and dentists. With the approval of the Ministry of Health–Bahrain, It was followed by another successful Medical Mission last October 2005 then on October 2006 where about 580 Filipinos received free medical and dental services.
We plan to schedule the Medical Mission 2007 on November 9 at the premises of the POLO-OWWA office of the Philippine Embassy- Bahrain.
Registration will start at 7:AM until 3 in the afternoon only and we are expanding this program with the following activities:
a. Free dental services at the Philippine School-Bahrain on November 14 and 15. (Final schedule to be arranged with the Principal) and On the Spot Painting Contest
b. Digital film showing of “Care Home” — the movie is an empowering story of immigrant workers particularly caregivers. It presents the struggles of every immigrant or Filipino overseas worker. (http://www.carehomethemovie.com/)
Medical missions and public services are just a few of the ongoing projects of Triskelions around the world especially in the Gulf Region. The Tau Gamma Phi was founded on October 4, 1968 to catalyze the traditional system of brotherhood and change for the society. As part of the Triskelion’s Vision to help people in need and contribute to society’s welfare in general, our 39th founding anniversary with a cause goes by the theme: “One step towards the leap to Fraternal Excellence”.
