Wazzup Pilipinas!
Student leaders from
various Benguet universities may be busy working on their diploma yet
they are also embarking on various environmental and livelihood projects
designed to benefit their respective communities.
Projects include the construction of trellised greenhouse, creation
of environment-friendly water bottles, learning innovative ways to
recycle plastic materials, livelihood management training, and
establishment of hand-woven product outlet.
They
are the result of the Leadership Communities (LeadCom) program of the
Ayala Foundation, Inc. (AFI) in cooperation with Globe Telecom and
youth-oriented non-government organization Active Aid Partnerships.
Select students from universities in Benguet were chosen to participate
in a three-day workshop to develop, inspire, empower and nurture them
into becoming future leaders of the country.
Benguet is one of the Communities of Practice (CoPs) of Globe, the
company’s way of giving back to the community where it operates. CoP
brings together various advocacies and initiatives of Globe delivered
through partnerships with community-based non-government organizations,
barangay leaders, and youth beneficiaries.
