Laudato Si 2018
This project was conducted in lieu of the Laudato Si initiative that aims to lessen environmental pollution and prevent the worsening of climate change all over the world. It was a school-wide activity that involved around 1,500 students inclusive of around 67 scouts and 5 scout leaders. With this project, around 10 barangays within the metro were benefited.
The project was made possible by initiatives of scouts, scout leaders, as well as youth from the environmental organization of the school. Each crew was assigned a specific barangay area to clean and restore within the city proper since these areas hosts most of the mosquitos that may cause dengue, malaria, and the like, as well as the wastes made by the citizens in the metro.
From this project, it was estimated to have benefits on at least 2,000 citizens within the metro. Aside from it benefiting them in terms of cleanliness and preventing flood occurrences due to drain clogging of garbage, it was also seen to help in the prevention of toxic related diseases such as dengue, malaria, leptospirosis, and the like.
As we come to the end of our project I have realized we people, are slowly forgetting the value of our environment. With this project, I am hoping that it had made the public aware of our environmental status, and I am certain that this awareness will also help me drive others in taking care of our Mother Earth.
