The Courage to Care and Other Lessons from Singapore

By Tony Meloto

How do you say thank you to so many for doing so much to those with much less?

They were there at the 2nd GK Global Summit in Singapore last June 25-27. Kindred spirits and like-hearted souls, patriots and heroes, philanthropists and partners,friends and family - they gathered to celebrate the dream of Filipinos to rise from poverty by 2024, of Asians ending poverty in Asia, of kalinga(caring) and bayanihan (sharing) as the way to a better world.

To the speakers, sponsors, hosts, service teams, delegates and guests, thank you.

The Summit clearly revealed, through insightful talks and inspired stories, that those with the courage to care are able to discover the power of love.

*Love more, live better - was the first lesson of Singapore.
