The E-help program. Aims to promote health care of the family and community in the
conduct of preventive and promotive health care program administration, food and nutrition,
and disease prevention. It also helps protect, preserve, and manage our ecosystem to ensure
sustainability. The E-help program happened on the 28th and 29th of September via zoom call.
During the event, we saw all kinds of things made from recycled material. Products made out
of straws, like bags, A simple box for pencils, flowers, and more. There were also products
made out of glass bottles and jars, rigid plastic, food waste, and metal container. Although,
most of the products I saw were different kinds of plants displayed in the area such as
eggplants, tibatib, bitaog, botong, and even flowers like sampaguita, gumamela, santan, and
more. The products were beautiful. If I’d be given a chance to participate in the event
personally, I would do so. The craftsmanship of the materials I saw was exquisite and precise.
Things that you could not see every day. Among all projects of the festival, the overall
champion is the "One Bead" project which won the CHED Choice Award and Best in
Entrepreneurship.

Since we talked about craftsmanship. The skills and work attitudes of the makers are
also important. Skills are a talent or ability that comes from training or practice. It is
important for work, success, personal growth, and career growth. Skills help makers build
relationships and solve problems so they can make positive contributions to a community.
Being a maker is not easy, a maker must learn from what they do, especially in areas that
involve teamwork, fun, and technology. A maker is someone who is used to solving all sorts of
problems by themselves and enjoys doing so. A maker is someone who has the willingness to
fail. To innovate faster, you have to explore as many paths toward success as you can. While
the number of failures increases, so do the opportunities for success. To come with it, there
should also be the willingness to grow into expertise. It is so easy, when encountering
obstacles, to stop moving forward, to shut down, and not ask for help. This means that those
with a maker attitude are able to grow slowly and cultivate. A maker must also be creative.
Creativity allows people to view and solve problems more openly and with innovation.
Creativity opens the mind.

I myself is not a maker, but I always have the attitude of one. A maker is not someone
who makes things. But a maker is someone who is driven by success. Because you make your
own achievements, you make your own fate, life, and story. It’s us who is making us everything.
That is what a maker is.
