IV. Introduction
Our community efforts and activities are focused on four important areas: a
clean-up drive, blood donation, a plant box, and recycled bottles. Through these
efforts, we hope to promote environmental sustainability, health and well-being, and
community development.
Planter box. Our plant box project aims to encourage neighborhood greening
and beautification. By constructing and maintaining plant boxes in strategic locations,
we hope to improve the aesthetic appeal of our surroundings while also providing a
favorable environment for plant growth. This campaign encourages kids to develop a
sense of responsibility for nature and to value the benefits of green spaces.
Community projects and events, we feel, are critical for developing civic-
minded individuals who actively contribute to society. We seek to foster a feeling of
social responsibility in our students and empower them to be agents of good change in
their communities through our NSTP-CWTS activities.

HISTORY
The origin of the name Viente Reales came from a legend that their ancestors
paid "veinte reales" or twenty reales (2.50 pesos) for the land to the Spaniards during
the Spanish occupation of the Philippines. Another legend was that there was a magic
well that contains delicious water that can quickly heal any sickness.

We were separated into groups, with each group responsible for cleaning a
distinct region of the campus. I am deeply committed to maintaining a clean
environment. I set out determined to remove the rubbish and waste that had collected
over time. I was sorry to see so much trash as I strolled around campus. It was
upsetting to realize that our lovely campus had become a landfill. I understood,
however, that our efforts may have a tremendous impact. I began by gathering trash,
being sure to separate recyclable and non-recyclable materials. It was encouraging to
see my classmates' hard work. I am motivated, which makes the cleanup effort
pleasurable and gratifying.

I gathered at the end of the clean-up drive for a quick reflection session. I offered my
opinions and experiences, expressing my thanks for being a part of such an important
endeavor. I recognized the organizing committee's efforts for their precise planning
and direction during the event.
The entrance of the school was adorned with vibrant banners, proudly
displaying messages of solidarity and the importance of blood donation. Volunteers
wearing bright red shirts greeted me with warm smiles and handed out informational
brochures detailing the process and benefits of donating blood. Their enthusiasm was
contagious, further fueling my anticipation for the day ahead.
Walking through the school premises, I could see different stations set up to
facilitate the donation process. The registration booth stood at the entrance, where
donors patiently lined up, ready to contribute their time and blood. The volunteers
behind the desk efficiently collected personal information, ensuring that each donor
was properly accounted for and screened for eligibility.
Moving further into the school, I arrived at the medical screening area. Here,
healthcare professionals diligently conducted thorough checks to ensure the safety of
both the donors and recipients. The room was filled with a gentle hum of
conversations as individuals patiently answered questions about their medical history
and underwent brief physical examinations. The meticulousness and attention to detail

demonstrated by the medical staff reassured me that the donors' well-being was of
utmost importance.
Once the screening was complete, donors were guided to the donation area.
The atmosphere in the room was both serene and invigorating. Medical professionals
equipped with sterile equipment prepared the donors for the collection process. The
sound of soft conversation and gentle laughter filled the room, as donors engaged in
friendly exchanges to alleviate any nervousness.
Each donor was attended to with utmost care and professionalism. The
medical staff skillfully collected the blood, ensuring minimal discomfort for the
donors. I watched as the bags filled with life-giving fluid, knowing that each drop
represented hope and a chance at a healthier life for someone in need.
As the day progressed, I had the privilege of witnessing the gratitude and relief
on the faces of recipients who came to express their appreciation. They shared stories
of how blood donations had transformed their lives, giving them a chance to recover,
heal, and continue their journey towards better health. These personal accounts served
as a powerful testament to the impact that each donor had on the lives of others.
Leaving the blood donation event at Veinte Reales National High School, I
carried with me a deep sense of awe and gratitude. The experience had allowed me to
witness the incredible power of collective action and selflessness. It was a reminder
that each individual has the ability to make a positive impact, no matter how small.
I walked away from the event with a renewed appreciation for the importance
of blood donation and a determination to spread awareness within my own circle of
influence.

The first stage was to gather a sufficient number of aluminum or metal cans. I
went to many junk stores in our barrio and collected or purchased some empty
beverage cans. Through this effort, I was able to collect a large number of cans, which
served as a vital resource for my research.
I began designing the plant box with a definite concept in mind. I created
numerous prototypes before finalizing the design, taking into account variables like as
stability, aesthetic appeal, and utility. I also purchased paint and a brush so that I
could color it. The goal was to build a long-lasting, physically pleasing building that
could house a range of plant species.
Then I started painting the cans and arranging them according to the pattern. I
built the planter with care. The repetitious yet contemplative procedure helped me to
become immersed in the project and appreciate the transformation of discarded cans
into something valuable.
The path of making the recycled can plant box at Marymount Professional
Colleges was more than just an exercise in craftsmanship; it was a monument to the
power of human action toward sustainability. It served as a reminder that when

motivated by passion and determination, modest steps can have a tremendous impact.
This effort promoted environmental awareness among the college community,
inspiring others to find inventive ways to recycle and repurpose things. The recycled
can planter proudly stands as a sign of our united commitment to a greener, more
sustainable future.

The morning sun illuminated the campus as participants eagerly put up their
booths. The environment was littered with vibrant sculptures, creative furnishings,
and compelling art displays, testaments to the Marymount community's ingenuity and
resourcefulness. This day was clearly going to be about both sustainability and artistic
expression. Workshops and interactive seminars were held throughout the day,
allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the world of recycling. The event
promoted a culture of discovery and learning, with DIY lessons on changing bottles
into planters and hands-on painting sessions. People of all ages actively participated,
seizing the opportunity to contribute to a more environmentally friendly, sustainable
future.
One of the day's highlights was the unveiling of the community mural, which
was made collaboratively by students, staff, and even members of the local
community. This artwork represented the harmony between nature and recycling with
colorful strokes and a common vision, a visual symbol of the transformational force
of togetherness. As the sun began to set, throwing a warm glow over campus, I
couldn't help but think of the Recycled Bottle Project's enormous influence. It was
more than an exhibition; it was a catalyst for change, a reminder that every small
action we take has an impact on our environment and society as a whole.
The project not only promoted awareness about the necessity of recycling, but
it also instilled in the Marymount community a sense of responsibility. It was proof
that by pooling our collective imagination and resolve, we could turn waste into
wonder, and what was previously considered disposable into something precious and
beautiful.

Second, the Blood Donation activity at Veinte Reales National High was a
significant and fulfilling experience. It allowed me to help save lives and improve the
well-being of others. The process of donating blood was nerve-racking, but knowing
that my contribution could potentially help someone in need made it all worthwhile. It
also made me realize the need of regular blood donations in preserving enough blood
supplies for medical situations.
