Precious and I celebrate 'cause we're almost done with the study tour for teachers. SEDP sponsored the study tour for 30 teachers from SEDP's Clean Cities - Baguio, Marikina, Makati, Davao and Iloilo, for them to experience first hand the different renewable energy sites in Luzon. Expect a more lively discussion on RE with your teachers in this coming school year! Read my blog entry on this subject for more!

ECO DEFENDERS JOIN PANAGBENGA 2009!

The Eco Defenders joined Baguio City's Centennial Panagbenga celebration last Feb. 28, 2009. Volunteer students from Baguio City National Highschool, University of Baguio, St. Luis University and and General Pio del Pilar High School of Makati donned colorful costumes depicting the various Eco Defender tips. The 27th Lancer Band provided the upbeat and festive music for the USAID SEDP street dancers that saw crowds clapping and asking for more at every stop of the 4-km long parade.

I will be uploading the names of the volunteers and more pics on a blog as soon as I can. In the mean time, you can visit www.sedp.ph and view the photogallery.
