| GK LIBMANAN |
|
|
|
Cam Sur's real treasures can be found in the quaint rural town of Libmanan, where travelers have been drawn to a beautiful GK community. Inside GK Libmanan is a bed and breakfast lodging for weary soujourners looking for a meaningful respite from the worries of the world. Still given its beautiful environment, what is truly inspiring about GK Libmanan are its residents and caretakers who are living examples of what giving and receiving care can do to transform the lives of families and a community. |

My immersion at GK Libmanan has indeed affected me in so many ways than one. I am more than grateful for the experience, and I look forward to sharing with them as much as I can. Truly, in order to be meaningfully immersed in a GK community, one has to be relieved first of whatever preconceived notions or principles he or she may have.
