Thousands and thousands of kababayans in Mindanao need your help. Thank you!!!]]> http://www.marketmanila.com/archives/help-for-storm-victims/feed 18 http://www.marketmanila.com/archives/thank-you-thank-you-mamou-and-mamou-too http://www.marketmanila.com/archives/thank-you-thank-you-mamou-and-mamou-too#comments Fri, 22 Jul 2011 07:51:55 +0000 Marketman http://www.marketmanila.com/?p=19883 Six thousand meals for undernourished public school children at the Tenement Elementary School! That was the extremely generous gift made possible by Mamou's wonderful owners, manager's and staff of Mamou who donated the entire proceeds of yesterday's 4th year anniversary sales and service charges! Amazing. And I think Malou and Oye Fores were particularly generous and "rounded up" the figure in a nice way. :) A huge thank you as well to Marketmanila readers and other folks who dropped by Mamou Serendra yesterday to eat heartily and support the feeding program. ]]> http://www.marketmanila.com/archives/thank-you-thank-you-mamou-and-mamou-too/feed 3 http://www.marketmanila.com/archives/dont-forget-have-a-meal-at-mamou-serendra-today http://www.marketmanila.com/archives/dont-forget-have-a-meal-at-mamou-serendra-today#comments Thu, 21 Jul 2011 00:08:04 +0000 Marketman http://www.marketmanila.com/?p=19873 http://www.marketmanila.com/archives/dont-forget-have-a-meal-at-mamou-serendra-today/feed 4 http://www.marketmanila.com/archives/4-mamou-too http://www.marketmanila.com/archives/4-mamou-too#comments Mon, 18 Jul 2011 14:24:16 +0000 Marketman http://www.marketmanila.com/?p=19851 third anniversary, they donated more than 4,000 meals worth which benefitted the Tenement School in Taguig. This year, they have graciously offered to do the same and this should be enough to provide approximately four months worth of meals. All you have to do is dine at Mamou for lunch or dinner (or both!) on Thursday, July 21, 2011. The more you eat, the more kids you feed! Marketman and some friends will definitely be dining at Mamou on Thursday so we hope to see you there! And if you can't make it on Thursday, please book a table for another night, simply because the food is great, and it is truly one of my favorite restaurants in Manila. Mamou Serendra, Fort Bonifacio 856.3569 0917.816.2668 But better yet, since tables are so darned hard to get at Mamou in Serendra, I am so PLEASED to announce the full opening of MAMOU too, the new baby at Rockwell Mall. Mamou too is on soft opening at the moment, but will be in full force soon... so visit them at Rockwell when you get a chance. On behalf of the students who have benefitted from Mamou's generosity (nearly 20,000 meals perhaps) throughout the years, I can only say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. There are lots of good folks out there, and the folks at Mamou are amazing. I hope readers will support this wonderful charitable effort. :) For more information and photos, please visit Mamou's facebook page...]]> http://www.marketmanila.com/archives/4-mamou-too/feed 5 http://www.marketmanila.com/archives/marketmanila-com-feeding-program-four-consecutive-years-150000-meals http://www.marketmanila.com/archives/marketmanila-com-feeding-program-four-consecutive-years-150000-meals#comments Wed, 06 Apr 2011 06:21:10 +0000 Marketman http://www.marketmanila.com/?p=18512 It's hard to imagine that we have just completed the fourth CONSECUTIVE and UNINTERRUPTED year of marketmanila.com feeding programs for undernourished public school children at a school in Taguig and another school in Cebu. I have lost count of the total number of meals provided, but it is probably between 140,000-150,000 complete meals. Many thanks to the generous donations of readers of marketmanila.com, large private donors like the restaurant Mamou that have provided phenomenal support every year, Marketman's family and friends. It's a program that has really meant a lot to me and my family, but more importantly, to the students/recipients of the meals provided. It is absolutely PROOF POSITIVE that from small ideas, kernels of inspiration, the collective power of a relative few (perhaps 400-500 donors total) generous people, we were able to deliver what is a fairly staggering number of meals. This blog is roughly 6.5 years old (2,400 days), so another way to look at this is that we managed to provide a nutritionally complete meal, completely free of charge, every 23 minutes (or 62 meals a day, every single day) for 6.5 years! :) And less than 1/10th of 1% of all the visitors to marketmanila.com (who have read 10 or more posts) donated to the feeding program...]]> http://www.marketmanila.com/archives/marketmanila-com-feeding-program-four-consecutive-years-150000-meals/feed 32
