Hi guys!
For anyone who has been following our @walkofhope activities these past months, we now have the dates for the said workshop. As Silliman University is having their Foundation Week from the 18th-22nd, a 3-day workshop has been alloted for us, also allowing @flabbergast-art Art exhibit at the same time. As you know, or maybe not, we have been looking for a venue for his exhibit since June. But since his invitation to perform and promote Steemit Philippines last month, the university requested for an Art workshop and has offered the place for his exhibit upon learning of @flabbergast-art's plan of doing an exhibit in a public place.

Promoting Walk of Hope|Steemit Philippines

Silliman university is very much accessible based from my experience last June. It is located along the port's promenade and have a very busy streets on both sides. Plus, it have locals and foreign students so pretty much perfect for promotions, including Dumaguete's tourists.

Bamboo innovations

Accompanied by #tataydagsa, whose one another advocacy is simple living and protecting the environment, bamboo products and innovations will be again put on display as part of our promotions throughout the country. This is also to promote and encourage using bamboo as means of livelihood as Negros is rich of different varieties of bamboo.

Walk of Hope : a charity with an advocacy

Livelihood

Although bringing Music and Arts to the underpriviledged Filipinos in the country is on how we started with @walkofhope, @flabbergast-art's stay in Bayawan pointed us to another direction, that is to teach and help them on ways on how to earn and have a livelihood, using what is easily accessible and available to them. In this regard, we want to emphasize that what we want to do is more of as an advocacy in providing means of livelihood for them, rather than CHARITY.

We believe that with the economic set-up in the Philippines, we rather teach our countrymen on "how to fish rather than constantly give them fish". In this way, we can help them stand on their own and be able to do the same in the future, if they so wish.

Sounds like a beautiful initiative @immarojas! I really like the underlying philosophy that it is better to teach people to fish than to just give them fish.

Thanks! Empowerment and independence..that's the goal.

Es un excelente trabajo el que realizan ustedes en @walkofhope, espero que muchas personas vayan a su curso ya que debe ser espectacular aprender de su arte que realizan con Bambú y apoyen a Steemit Philippines

Muchas gracias☺

Good to hear that @flabbergast-art has finally got some dates for the Silliman University exhibit @immarojas. Will you be going? 😊

There's no uniform in Silliman, puro civilian. We got to go around last June with no security guard in each building. T'was summer so am not sure.

Woah.. we should have attempted when we went there.. maybe next time
