Utilizing my skills for Him

When I first set out to have my photography business, it is my DREAM to use my skills to serve God.  After all, everything that I have in my life is from His grace.  So how can I not give it back? 
I truly thank God that I had the opportunity to be invited to capture the moments for a charity event that is hosted by School for the children of the World.  Honestly, I haven’t heard about this organization before they invited me.  But after going through their website and read their mission about … “ To Empower children in developing countries through the provision of new school facilities and educational opportunity to make a difference in their lives.” , I simply cannot resist to this noble cause!

I mean, come on, when you see innocent face like that, don’t you want every child in the world have equal opportunity for education and carry this  happiness on their face? I know I do!

The event of that night is called ‘Raising Wayne’.  So you can guess it.  I have the honour to meet The Great One’s father, Walter Gretzky!  Woohoo!

Everyone who met Walter said how great and friendly he is.  When I had my personal encounter with him, his friendliness is BEYOND all the good comment I heard.  He’s funny, friendly, energetic, and very generous!

Here are some of the highlights of the evening…

Lots of memorable posters for silent auction before the main event.

And here the main event starts …

I’m totally unexpected to see my name being listed up there.  Thank you SCW. =)

 

And Walter is giving out his very motivated and entertaining speech.

 
 

After one main event, another main event starts.  Walter passed out his Olympic torch to everyone to have a moment with it.

 

And the energetic him gave out autographs nonstop!  His hand just didn`t stop for more than an hour!

 

And the fans loved it!

 

Of course, more pictures from the auction winners. =)

 

Oh, I got my opportunity to take a picture with the Great One`s father too. =D
