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
