SAS Gawad Kalinga Club
The Gawad Kalinga club at Singapore American School has run since 2010. Its students spent seven years raising money to build their own village in Dalaguete, Cebu, broke ground in November 2018, and still support the families living there. Gawad Kalinga means “to give care” in Tagalog.
Most of that money comes from the Zombie Run, a 1.5km race across the SAS campus where high school students play the zombies. In most years it raises around $15,000 and takes about 700 runners and over 100 student volunteers from four clubs. ForAnother’s school kit handover was run with Gawad Kalinga.
