The Student Catholic Action of the Philippines (SCAP), in cooperation with the Philippine Bamboo Foundation and Mga Anak ni Inang Daigdig, gladly invite your organization/institution to the Formal Launching of the 200K Bamboohay Challenge this coming 27th of July 2019 (Sat) at the Sacred Heart Parish, Kamuning, Quezon City from 8:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
The 200K Bamboohay Challenge is a concrete and action-led project offered for this Year of the Youth in response to our Holy Father’s Laudato Si’ Encyclical to “hear the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor” as well as the 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The project aims to grow as much as 200,000 and more native bamboos specifically at the threatened watershed areas of Metro Manila in a year’s time.
One of the critical issues is the struggling water source of the country’s capital. In planting more bamboos, it will sustain the health of watersheds, prevent soil erosion, and create livelihood for nearby indigenous communities. More than this is the project’s commitment to offer a formation program accompanying all stakeholders most especially the Filipino youth towards an ecological conversion.
We encourage a leader-representative from your organization/institution together with some of the members to join us. And, if willing and committed to be one of our partners in this ecological crusade, an online pledge signup will take place during the launching.
