Puon

This is how we empower the youth, not just with words, but with real action. Because cleanliness and health are everyone’s responsibility. 🌱🌎💚💙

During this Dengue Awareness Month, the youth volunteers of Sto. Domingo, Bombon, Camarines Sur showed us all that lasting change begins when we step up for our community. Together, we cleaned up public spaces, properly disposed of plastic waste, and eliminated mosquito breeding grounds, taking charge of our environment and protecting our health.

If not us, who? If not now, when?

Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan. Today, we’re proving it with every step we take.

🌍 PUON in Action: Bagsi Clean-Up Drive for a Cause 🌿

We are proud to have participated in the Bagsi Clean-Up Drive last December 1, 2024, connected to the ML Tournament for a Cause! 💚 Bagsi and the teams from the ML Tournament for a Cause worked together to clean up nearly 50 sacks of garbage from the area—every piece was carefully separated to ensure proper recycling and disposal. 🗑️✨

What shocked us most during the clean-up was the amount of waste buried in the ground. Each time we dug with our shovel, we didn’t find soil—we found trash. From candy wrappers, single-use plastics, chips packaging, unwanted clothing, cans, bottles, books, and even diapers. The ground was overflowing with all sorts of waste. It was a reminder of the need for responsible waste management and the dangers of single-use plastics.

This clean-up is just one step, but it shows how much work is still needed. Together, we can make a difference! 🌱 Let's continue working to protect our environment, one piece of trash at a time.

🌿 Stay tuned for more exciting projects and initiatives as we continue to take action for a cleaner, greener future! 🌍
