We just want the management, including the students and parents, to take care of the plants,” she said.
Since 2011, the Mindanao Youth Peace Builders had planted 1,500 rubber seedlings in at least 10 schools located in the remotest villages in the city.
“This is our way of building peace. Peace is also about taking care of the environment. When we plant rubber trees, we help mitigate global warming and at the same time make money out of it,” she said.
The group was organized in late 2010 and is focused on helping build peace in poor and conflict-affected communities in the province.
