SEED4Com with participation from Rotary Club Mandaue East, Kindred Nomads, and other individual volunteers has adopted the island of Gilutongan to help the community develop a waste management program by working together with the locals and other interested stakeholders in addressing ecologically sustainable development one island at a time.
Calling themselves as Island Warrior Trash Heroes, individuals and volunteers from different organizations have started doing the coastal cleanup last August 30, 2014. As their own contribution, the locals of Gilutongan have followed this initiative, making it as a weekly cleanup to make their island a sustainable ecotourism destination free from trash.
On September 20-21, SEED4Com with the Island Warrior Trash Heroes will be having their first EcoCamp in the island for coastal clean up and mangrove planting. The group will also be holding workshop and training for the community to come up with a plan of action to implement a waste management program and be able to provide clean and safe water, livelihood and education for the families of Gilutongan island.
This initiative is in support to the Let’s Do It! movement across the globe.
