The “Scraps to Crafts” project, initiated by former participants of the 3rd JBLFMU Eco-Adventure Camp headed by Mr. Jay Lord Saplagio, was successfully implemented on October 18, 2028 following their Php50,000 funding win during the Project Pitching Event at the Municipality of Buenavista, Guimaras. The project aimed to promote environmental sustainability by transforming recyclable materials into creative and functional crafts, while raising awareness on proper waste management.
During implementation, campers and other youth members conducted workshops and hands-on activities in local schools and communities, teaching participants how to creatively repurpose scrap materials. These activities not only encouraged recycling and waste reduction but also enhanced community engagement and youth participation in environmental initiatives.
The project successfully achieved its objectives by producing a variety of crafts from recycled materials, fostering environmental consciousness, and empowering participants with skills for sustainable living. The support from the Municipality of Buenavista, alongside guidance from JBLFMU Community Extension Services, ensured smooth execution and impactful outcomes.
The success of “Scraps to Crafts” demonstrates the lasting effect of JBLFMU Eco-Adventure Camp in nurturing young eco-leaders who translate learning into tangible community action.
