Mothers recycle for day care center anniv

Mothers participated in Barangay 1 Day Care Centers recycling contest in celebration of the Center's 22nd Anniversary.

Mothers were divided into groups and tasked to recycle items found in their household.

 Each of the group were then asked to submit their best recycled item.


The official entries were judged according to originality (40%), craftmanship (30%), and creativity and uniqueness (30%).

The contest is the brainchild of the Day Care Center teacher Ms. Beth Gernade and aims to promote solid waste management among the mothers.

The output of the mothers range from recycled paper, plastic straw and bottles into household decorations, bags from foil packs, desk organizer from floppy disks and candle holder from plastic bottle.

The winner of the contest was a castle made of recycle cardboard, plastic bottle and styrofoam.


This year's anniversary theme is "Day Care for 22 years in delivering services to the community must go on."

Barangay 1 Day Care Center has been a strong advocate of solid waste management in San Jose de Buenavista, Antique.
