Heart of a Servant

Central B is so blessed to have a very committed and dedicated GK volunteer in the person of Julius Ulep. Julius, who joined the Singles for Christ in Pasig in 1999 and formerly the GK Sector Rep, has been serving Gawad Kalinga in Arkong Bato since the early stage of SAGIP program in 2003. His consistent weekly visits in the site endeared him with the kids. In fact, he was able to establish the closest bond not only with the SAGIP kids but also with their parents.

 

When he was asked to lead the Child and Youth Development (CYD) in Arko, he did not hesitate to accept the service considering that he also participates actively in the SAGIP Program  as a Sports Coordinator/Trainer.  Being a longtime SAGIP facilitator, then a Program Manager and now a CYD coordinator, Julius is very instrumental in influencing fellow SFCs to serve in GK. His enthusiasm in serving the poorest of the poor is really admirable and contagious. That’s also one of the reasons why GK volunteers in Central B continue to thrive.

 

Julius is a classic example of a selfless servant. While he was doing all the GK works he was also serving as Unit Head in Central B3 until last year when decided concentrate on his work as head of the CYD. Energetic as he is, he still found time to be the Central B’s Sports Coordinator today.

 

We can only hope and pray that every SFC member can be like him…someone who never gets tired of serving and loving God and His people.  That is the heart of Julius, a heart of a true servant.
