Klement Backpacking and Ministry: 11 days, 2 countries, 1 mission in Photos

by Regin Reyno

"The world's greatest need is consecrated effort for the salvation of souls."-Ellen G. White 

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” -Mark Twain

On July 23, 2012, my batch in college, called "Klement" departed Philippines for an 11-day backpacking and ministry travel in Thailand and Cambodia. 

Day 1: Manila-Clark-Bangkok Travel

Tribute to KBM Participants

by Cheryl Gay Derequito

People come and go. But according to Farah, that belief has changed because Klement has stayed in her life until now.

Klement is who we are. Klement is our family. The Klement family will always be part of us no matter where we are. For some, it is where we find acceptance. It is where we can be our real self. It is where we can laugh the most and cry the hardest. The bullying is a sign that we love and accept each other that no matter how flawed we are, we can laugh and joke about them without being offended. We are closely knitted that despite our many differences in values, principles, status, interests, cliques and AGE(ahem…bato bato sa langit), we get along well.

We were talking with Regin and we talked about each Klement who joined the KBM. He mentioned that it is only this time that he really got to appreciate and admire some Klements whom he wasn’t really close with before. I’d like to give tribute to each KBM member in this blog.

ANGKOR WAT – Finally We Meet!

by Dodge Lecciones

Majestic structures…sophisticated engineering…intricate stone carvings…splendid works-of-art…

These are but a few of the so many descriptions that went running through my head as I finally set foot on this great and grandiose temple that took my attention through my readings ages ago. I dreamed, but never did I imagine that at a young age I’d actually roam around and inside the temple.

with my friend, Baijan. One of the official photographers of the group.

Who would ever expect that the "Just Chill," most relaxed MVC-SN batch would be able to  get together as early as 3 years after graduation and do something life changing?
