LAKBAY-ARAL


On September 6, 2006, the Health Committee of St. Hannibal Christian Community (SHaCC) went to Brgy. Holy Spirit in Quezon City and to the Bureau of Plants Industry for their “Lakbay-aral.” They were given first-hand lessons on systematic waste management and greening programs. This was continued on September 8, 2006. This time, the Health Committee was joined by the Environment Committee. The two groups together with the organizers(the UP-PGH Doctors) and some UP medical students went to the UP Los Baños Agricultural Department for the orientation and viewing of the “Hydroponics”(plants which usually grow in soil but planted in water for convenience and faster growth).
