Gawad Kalinga, Ancop : Eliminate Poverty !!
Gawad Kalinga (GK) , translated from Tagalog (Filipino) to English means "to give care". We challenge you: watch this video in its entirety to get a sense of how much care is being shared from international corporations, individuals, government officials, country governments to answer the cry of the poor. The United Nations is monitoring its progress as a possible model for empowering the poor and thus eliminating poverty. More at www.gawadkalinga.org/whatisgk.htm . Watch the video here. PS. Don't forget to vote for it for the digg.com front page by clicking on the "digg it" link.

Maple Grove Park - Vancouver Family's Secret Swimming Pool
Maple Grove Swimming Pool, Vancouver
There is a great swimming pool in Vancouver where a family with children can have lots of fun!
It's at Maple Grove park, located on West 51st Ave and Balsam St, Vancouver. It's part of the Vancouver Parks Board. It's a HUGE family swimming pool.
It has a concession stand, changing rooms, outdoor shower, and lots of grassy areas around to sit, picnic and enjoy. There are two to three lifeguards on duty. While we were there, the lifeguards did their job well as a couple of times, they went in the water and asked underaged children where there parents were, since children under 8 years old had to have an adult with them within arm's length. The admission (at Aug 2006 anyway) is very good: $1 for children, $2 for adults, free for children under 5 years old.
Vangie and I sat by the edge of the pool and waded our feet in the cooling water. Emerald, Erin-Marie and Erica had a grand time!

Kitsilano Pool
By the way, did you know that Vancouver boasts Canada's longest pool! It's at Kitslano Pool, located at 2305 Cornwall Avenue. It is the only salt water pool in Vancouver and one of the few in the world!
