First Day Success!

Success is the word to describe our first garage sale day in Antipolo. The activity is initiated by my wife, Maela, as part of the schemes to raise funds for the Rebooked project.

A few neighbors were already standing outside the gate when we opened this morning at 9AM. Since the opening, people would enter the garage by bunches of 5 and 6. Looks like people caught on our hand printed ads 🙂

It’s a very tiring activity but the reward is all worth the sweat. Overall we sold around 7K worth of clothes, accessories, bags, CDs and cassette tapes (yes, meron pa kami nun! 🙂 ), including those from your donations. Of the total sales, our(maela and mine, including your donations) sold items totaled 2.8K. 50% of the sales from our personal items plus all the sales from your donations is 1.7K Pesos! Yey!!

Thanks all for your prayers and donations. One more day of selling tomorrow. 🙂
