Last May 06, 2018, Sunday, The Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) in 48 countries gathered in 358 sites to join the largest religious movement to fight poverty that sets New Guinness World Records.
INC Worldwide Walk to Fight Poverty is envisioned to help the less privileged people in certain communities, particularly in the African Continent where poverty is widespread and is the chief source of hunger.
Below are the 5 GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS:
• The Largest Human Sentence
• The Largest Human Mosaic Formed by People
• The Largest Charity Walk in a Single Venue
• The Largest Charity Walk in Multiple Venue
• The Largest Charity Walk in Nationality Venue
Looking back, the event was first successfully executed last February 15, 2014. The charity walk also set two Guinness records. One was for the largest charity walk in a single venue which was in its Manila site, along the scenic Roxas Boulevard where 175,509 participants made it to the finish line. The second was for the largest charity walk done within 24 hours in multiple venues with 519,221 participants that set a new Guinness record category. All the participants who registered and donated money were members of the church.
The funds generated on the first Worldwide walk activity were used primarily for the construction of the housing facilities in Sitio New Era as well as in the acquisition of equipment for the eco-farming community in Leyte.
The Super Typhoon Yolanda (international name: Haiyan). Haiyan was one of the strongest tropical cyclones ever recorded that caused catastrophic destruction in the Visayas particularly Samar and Leyte. It is the deadliest Philippine typhoon on record, killing at least 6,300 The number of those killed during the typhoon ranges from 4,000 to 6,000 individuals while some sources claim that the body count reaches up to 15,000 leaving 1.9 million homeless more than 6,000,000 displaced.
