CLEAN-UP DRIVE AT BARANGAY MANGINGISDA

Scientific Literature
The Young Community Stewards spearheaded the annual Clean-Up Drive on August 1,2015.
With the theme “Kiskis, Linis, Kinis,” the said activity assembled selected officers of different
organizations sponsored by the UST Junior High School to clean the streets of P. Noval and
Dapitan. Students Leaders were assigned to bring their own cleaning materials such as dust pan,
soap, pail, trash bags, broomsticks, scraper, rags, and gloves. “It is the main objective of the
Clean-Up Drive to promote cleanliness and healthful environment around the university for all
Thomasians as well as other people,” said YCS President Ralph Joshua Arano. The Clean-Up
Drive is held annually to raise awareness among students to dedicate themselves to community
services for the benefits of the society. This event is also the perfect opportunity for its
participants to realize how a clean environment would contribute a better change to its
surroundings.
Environmental sustainability helps prevent global warming and climate change. One example of
environmental sustainability is simply through cleaning. Cleanliness in the environment
contributes a lot in maintaining a clean and green surrounding. It is simple yet a helpful way of
improving a healthy environment. As part of the scheduled activities of Children and Youth
Development Program for SY2017-2018, the beneficiaries of Open Heart Foundation Worldwide
Inc. conducted a Clean-Up Drive in Barangay West Fairview, Quezon City last April 9, 2017.
The objective of the activity is to bring the beneficiaries together, to work together for a common
good which is to promote cleanliness and be active in the community where we are residing.
The activity was attended by five OHF beneficiaries in Quezon City and assisted by Ms. Saleah,
an Open Heart Foundation area coordinator in-charge of QC beneficiaries. Right after the
activity, we, the beneficiaries donated cleaning materials like broomsticks and dust pans to the
Barangay to be used by their cleaning department. Helping is not a privilege, it is an obligation.
Therefore, as youth of today, we are obliged to take care of the provisions God has given us. We
are grateful that in our own little way, we could be of help in improving our environment. Thank
you also to Open Heart Foundation for teaching us and helping us making a difference.
