ΑΦΩ Philippines in its 56 years since its foundation has not been able to conduct a Nation-wide ΑΦΩ Jamboree and it is precisely for this reason that NVP-FA wishes to undertake such a momentous activity.

The venue of the event is to be determined as soon as the bidding of its hosting is finish. THE PROPOSAL The NVP-Fraternity admits his incapacity of funding all of these projects but believes in the nobility and the feasibility of the projects he presented. Alpha Phi Omega has long been serving our citizens but the facts tell us that the quality of the project is dependent on the funds generated. It is for this reason that the National Vice-President for Fraternity Bro. Kent Brian C. Tan came up with the ΑΦΩ cares, ΑΦΩ shares Job Fair. The activity can not only help our brethrens but can also generate the needed funds to materialize all of the presented projects as well. But as noble as this intention may be, we have to consider several factors, factors such as the seed fund needed to mobilize the manpower and cover for the expenses to be incurred on the said activity. In lieu of this the NVP-FA would like to ask for financial help and wishes to tie-up with our alumni brothers and sisters and asks them to be his partner in pursuing the projects he has presented. Attached hereto are different options by which our alumni can be of help. Your support would surely ensure the realization of a dream, the dream to make this world a better place for us to live-in and to eternally give the glory due to our beloved Alpha Phi Omega. Page 3
