Welcome 2007, goodbye 2006, such a good thing to think that Give A Life (GAL) Foundation, since its culmination is welcoming another year – another year – another great challenges. WE, from Give A Life (GAL) are very grateful to those countless individuals and agencies that supported and offered their donations, pledges, and even their own self to keep the foundation running. All your efforts have never been futile. Many pediatric wards have already been built and renovated. Survival among children who are cancer patients is increasing and medicines among the less fortunate are nearly becoming a less of their problem. But, we know we should never stop from here. Nobody knows how things will last for the foundation...but GAL is keeping high hopes that year 2007 will be another great year to meet new good Samaritans who will be our partners in giving and sowing life. But before we fully open our doors for 2007, we invite you to join us, as we back track on the highlights of year 2005 and 2006 for Give A Life. |

| Year 2006 With 2006, new partnerships had been formed and worthwhile projects had been made – all for the benefits of the children stricken of cancer and other diseases, which rob their lives and their futures. A donation from Mont Blanc Foundation (MBF) to buy life saving medicines and hospital supplies opened the year for Give A Life. In photo, is Ms. Diana D. Martin, MBF’s Vice President handling over the check worth 500,000.00 pesos to Ms. Melanie Ilisan of Give A Life. Also in photo are MBF Trustees: Ms. Grace Merin (from left), Ms. Antonette D. Martin and Ms. Liza Hular. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| Medicines and medical supplies like syringe pumps were donated by Springboard foundation for the benefits of Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Center charity patients. | ||||||
 |
 |
|||||
| In August 10, 2006, Ms. Antonette D. Martin, MBF Trustee visited Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital asking some information about the conditions of their NICU patients Photo shows Ms. Martin conferring with Dra. Maan Ilao of Fabella Hospital. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| In photo are newly born babes in the Neo-Natal Internal Care Unit (NICU) of Fabella Hospital. These babies, at the onset of their birth, require proper care and medical attention. They are put into incubators to regulate their body heat and provide them protection to keep them away from infections and other diseases acquired after birth. Incubators at Fabella hospital are limited in numbers, thus, these three babies have to cramp their sensitive bodies to fit into one incubator. Through your donations, GAL aims to provide each baby a one incubator to properly ensure his or her survival. Don’t you think it would be a good birth day gift for them! Don’t you? | ||||||
 |
 |
 |
||||
| In mid-2006, this was the drastic condition of the NICU of Fabella Memorial Hospital. With Springboard Foundation and Bosch Philippines, the renovation and refurbishment of NICU was started and was completed early this 2007. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| The newly renovated NICU ward of Fabella Hospital sponsored by Bosch Philippines and Springboard Foundation is now fully operational. Thanks to Springboard and Bosch Philippines for giving LIFE!!! | ||||||

WE believe in Give A Life that “WHAT you SOW is WHAT you REAP.” Never stop to sow life and you’ll earn life in return. Thanks and God Bless You All this 2007.
