Immediately, we started our door to door tasks with the villagers, wearing the smiles on our faces. In every house we've been through, we noticed the people's smile when we arrived and their willingness to be rendered by what we had prepared for them. Prior to our BP monitoring and blood Typing, we as nurses had done our health teaching in terms of their lifestyle and diets in maintaing a normal BP and also a healthy life. Also, we discussed the importance of knowing their blood type, whom they are allowed to donate and from whom they can receive blood. With the different houses we had set our feets on, we are very grateful on being able to mingle with the people on the GK san Isidro, where people are thanking, offering some foods, and sharing some of their stories in life.

Overall, we had taken the blood type of 33 people in the village. After we were done with our tasks we then proceed in the GK hall where we had some socialization with the villagers and the other organizations of the university.During lunch time we had the so called "boodle fight"- eating all together where the food is on the banana leaves, and this tradition for GK programs was really really really fun. Lunch time ended and we proceed for the programs that will bring joy to the villagers. One, is a presentation from

the Telon group, which is about the essence of helping the GK villagers. Telon, is indeed a great pride of our school and villagers of the GK were really laughing all throughout their performance.
