【Philippines】Healthy children are growing

A day at San Nicolas Elementary School starts with cleaning the school grounds. The children, who learned about the environmental protection through CFP, are now willingly picking up and separating garbage. Almost every day, the children are cheerfully running around on the cleaned school grounds. Recently, football (soccer) is getting popular among the Filipino children. Football games held in Manila between the Philippine national team and foreign national teams are now widely covered by television and newspapers, and the popularity of football is also increasing in the province.

The CFP coordinators, when they visit the schools, are often asked by the children to teach football. After fully playing football, we take a break under the trees planted through CFP and realize the importance of trees. In this healthy natural environment, raising children who are sound in both mind and body, and the children transmitting the importance of nature to next generations, this is precisely the ideal that CFP aims at.
