【Philippines】Four schools newly joined the Children’s Forest Program (CFP)

Four schools in the Capalonga Region, namely Catalino Gonzales Elementary School, Sotero Mago Elementary School, Lucbanan Elementary School, Esturas-Nabata Elentary School, started CFP activities.

On December 19, 2011, the CFP inaugural ceremony was jointly held at Sotero Mago Elementary School. The children and teachers of the four schools, village officials and family members of the children participated in the ceremony.

Following the ceremony, commemorative tree-planting was carried out. Around the trees planted by the children, the family members firmly put fences so that the trees would not be trampled by wild animals. Through these activities, not only environment conservation awareness was raised, but also family ties were strengthened. In future, we would like to further promote CFP activities thanking many people who are supporting us.
