Hi we have a 6 baranggay tanods here in the the community that are doing rounds during the evenings. I have wanted to donate some C8's to them so they can maintain a safe distance if their are burglars. Being out of work (still under training and waiting for the work visa my pocket is tight right now. I hope too donate some with the help of BLF. I'm into the BLF GT that was my first project light that I couldn't pass.
Send it via PM to the OP.
Because I can!
Heroic tale submitted. :-)
Feel allowed to reveal my name, southland. 
Cheers my fellow dears ^:)
Contest is now closed, going to take a while to pick the winners. Will post results in a few days. Thanks to all the donors and entrants.
I have listed the entries in the OP and will be adding the prizes at a later time when I can figure everything out. Everyone will get something, some will get more than others just because their circumstances seen worse in my opinion.
BLF comunity should appreciate what Southland and all the donors made to help people with needs.
I have not seen such similar generosity in any other forums.
BLF is unique!
Thanks to Southland and thanks to all donors.
Congrats to the “winners”. At least… a small “ray of light”… a big-little help to get something good… some joy… to people that are not having good times… I have read all stories… wow man……… hope the life gets better for all…
Cheers!
Have listed some of the prizes, still waiting on some donors to see where their prize should go and some entrants to send me their address.
I'm drooling! Thanks!
What current does that stuff pushes?
Cheers ^:)
Very good idea! Perhaps make this an annual event? With donor submission section…
The submissions posted opened my eyes to the rest of the community here, and our shared interest which spans all nations and living situations.
Praise to you southland.
