The proceeds for these workshops will cover part of the losses of the March 28, 2008 performance of THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES under the worldwide campaign VDAY Cagayan de Oro City 2008, where we didn’t meet the expected amount to generate due to miscommunication of the parties involved in marketing and promotions. Our foremost aim in organizing for the specific show is to enable us to donate to VDAY and to our local beneficiaries, Teodora: Empowering Women through the Arts and 3 female students of Balulang National High School, financial aid for school year 2008-2009, aside from the awareness campaigns. Sadly, the donation box did not even reach the minimum target, hence these workshops. Thanks to the commitment of kind hearted individuals who are working not to promote their names and boost their egos but with their commitment to make art the avenue for change and reform, learning and growth, and for supporting VDAY, as an avenue for women empowerment. Another production of the same show will be staged on April 26, 2008. Hopefully with this second show we can generate more money to donate. We would also like to thank Atty. Samson S. Tan for his support and kind consideration on the financial arrangement for the venue.

Awarding of checks to beneficiaries will be moved in early May 2008. Please keep posted. You may also want to visit our event site www.vdaycagayandeorocity2008-dharlz.blogspot.com for updates.

On April 28 and 29, 2008, Honeysweet Learning Center, in partnership with TOUCH FOUNDATION, together with the VDAY Cagayan de Oro City 2008 Vagina Warriors, will be conducting a FREE Personality Development and Self Esteem Workshop for the victims and survivors of VAWC (RA 9262 or the anti-violence against women and children act).

For those who supported us unconditionally, our deepest gratitude. To all Vagina Warriors, you have given justice to the monologues. I thank you for lending your voices to share the stories of women. To our Partners, our activities may be simple, yet we know for a fact that they have changed lives and life conditions. To our Sponsors, your financial/material support has helped us cross the strong currents amidst the storms. And to our Fiscal Sponsor, we couldn’t have done anything without your trust and confidence, thank you so much for always giving us the help we need.
