After almost a month since launching their crowdfunding campaign with
The Spark Project, Kawil Tours successfully hit their target of raising Php300,000 which will be used to acquire their own tourist boat. The target was hit last July 16, 2013, 14 days before the campaign ends.

| Kawil Tours reached their fundraising target after almost a month and with 14 days left for the campaign. |
Aside from donations which came from individual backers, the funds received huge boosts from 2 organizations and a generous couple. Days earlier, Kawil Tours presented to the
Rotary Club of Makati East. Last July 15, 2013, Kawil Tours also met with the President of St. Michael's College of Laguna.

The generous donation was raised through the Z Club and Golden Z Club of
St. Michael's College of Laguna.
With the availability of fund, Kawil Tours will now be able to fully acquire this tourist boat from Culion. This will be designed according to the requirements of Kawil Tours and will also be painted with its Kawil livery.

Since the
crowdfunding campaign still has around 2 weeks left (ending on July 30, 2013), any amount raised on top of the target will be used to acquire tour paraphernalia which includes life vests, snorkeling gears (mask & snorkel, fins & booties), and safety gears (life rings, buoys, and ropes). Rewards will also be provided to backers.
Kawil Tours will also be having a Thanksgiving Mass on July 29, 2013, 7pm, at Calungsod Hall, Loyola School of Theology, Ateneo de Manila University. A short program will follow after the mass. All the Spark Project backers, Kawil Tours supporters, and Isla Culion advocates are invited to the activity. (Link to Facebook event:
