“Messengers of Peace Community PanTREE”-Pampanga

“It is not just a small bamboo cart containing fresh produce and other food, but a powerful idea that has come out during this time of sweeping pandemic when many Filipinos don’t have the means to feed themselves and their families.” The idea is simple enough... “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime” --- Mathew 4:19
The project entitled “Messengers of Peace Community PanTREE” is a mutual aid support with the community, the BSP, MoP - Pampanga Council launched its own version of Community PanTree held last May 5, 2021 at exactly 7:00 in the morning at the Boundary of Guemasan and Riverside Poblacion, Arayat, Pampanga. The said project adopted the same program but with a twist of sustainability by giving also seedlings. Over 250 families and estimated 1,250 individuals benefitted with this mutual aid support.
This MoP Community PanTree aims to immerse the Scouts and Scouters in the BSP ideals and dedication to the scouting service. The value of giving as much as we can was shown by the people who supported this project.
The seedlings that every individual got from the PanTree, if well taken care and properly nourish will give them bountiful harvest on the coming days that they can share also to their relatives or even with their neighbors. If those seedlings are well-maintain, they might be benefiting also from them by simply selling them in the market. It’s like hitting two birds in one stone, meaning they have food to harvest and food to sell.
