Unforgettable Surprise

Last Wednesday, November 27, 2013, we at CRACMES were invited to Mother Earth Foundation's 15th year anniversary and book launching. Yes, they finally launched their first book entitled MEF@15: On the Road to Zero Waste. I went there together with our principal Ma'am Nancy Annie Dela Paz, Ma'am. Diaz, Ma'am Doria and a student Yna Laycano. As I was listening to the speeches of Sir Froilan and other guests, I can't help but reminisce the past. I remember those two years (2010-2012) of MEF's working hand in hand with our school to help the students, teachers and the people in the community learn about some environmental concepts. I miss their company especially the activities and lessons they had given to us. Meeting these people with great advocacy made me realize how grateful we are, how lucky we are that we were able to do a little help in taking care of the environment.

At MEF's 15th anniversary and book launching

We were invited in the book launch not only because we are one of their partner schools but also because they included our story in their book. The teachers were so happy with this. We can't believe we've come this far. We are just so proud of this achievement.

While browsing the pages of the book, I was surprised to see my name and picture there. I remember the surprise Sir Froilan has been telling me. I was really really happy and overwhelmed, imagine I was chosen as one of the Zero Waste ambassadors. (Nakakataba ng puso talaga) Thank you so much. This is another unforgettable moment for me. May God continue to bless the people behind MEF especially Sir Froilan.

I will forever be grateful for all the things MEF has done for me especially Sir Froi. They were the ones who opened so many doors for me. They believed in my capabilities even if they didn't know me personally. They made my dreams come true. Grabe, I cannot thank them enough for all the recognitions they have given me, from being a model teacher, the Palawan tour, the article, the certificates, and the last one is this, featured in their book. Thank you very much MEF and Sir Froi. I know God will reward you a hundred fold because you help a lot of people and you made them happy.
