Project PEARLS at Go! Volunteer Expo 2026: A Weekend of Passion, Gratitude, and Community

What. A. Weekend!

We had such a heartwarming time at the Go! Volunteer Expo 2026 by iVolunteer Philippines at SM North EDSA last July 25–26.

From sharing our heart and mission at our booth, to hands-on fun with GROW’s Macramé & Crochet workshops led by our amazing GROW Nanays, our hearts are overflowing with gratitude. A huge thank you to everyone who dropped by to learn about Project PEARLS and sign up to volunteer, we can’t wait to see you in our upcoming community activities! A special thank you to Ms. Joy Barcoma for dropping by our booth and taking the time to listen to our advocacy; we look forward to potential future collaborations for the community!

We’re so proud of our Executive Director, Ms. Monica Aclan, for sharing our story on stage and empowering everyone with the message that our community impact truly matters! Shoutout as well to our incredible staff and volunteers who dedicated their time at our booth, warmly sharing our mission with everyone who stopped by.

Most of all, our deepest gratitude goes to iVolunteer Philippines. Thank you for your unwavering partnership and for giving us a space to unite over our shared hopes for the community.

Maraming, maraming salamat po! Together, let’s keep changing lives.
