HOPE IN A BOTTLE

                     Now that our country is facing a pandemic, many people need help. And of course we now also face the problem of plastics. So we came up with a project that we can at least help other people and also help reduce plastics. We thought of people we could help we chose the people who lived under the bridge in Tejero. So we chose them because we knew their life was hard. At least in groceries, we can help them. Another reason why we help them out is that we can only help by collecting plastics. Because we are just students so we can`t afford to help them with our own money, we will collect plastic bottles here in our area, to reduce plastic pollution as well. But for us to get the exact funds that will afford to buy groceries for them, we used social media to promote the project we are launching. Anyone can join our project, so we are pretty sure we can provide groceries that will take about a week for the people there. This project will be of great benefit to us because we have already helped it has even reduced the clutter of plastic bottles.

                     In this project, we came up with requirements that are needed for those who are going to give plastic bottles for us to be able to buy groceries for the people that are living under the bridge in Tejero. The requirements are very simple they just need to give us at least 15 to 30 plastic bottles and the participants, we do not require age, as long as they can help us out in the continuation of our project for them to participate in "Hope In a Bottle" project. But because we are on the pandemic, the government said that only 15 yrs old and above were allowed to go outside, so it means only those who can provide plastic bottles are limited. The people living under the bridge in Tejero must go and line up on their barangay because our project will be happening on their barangay. They must fill up their names on our provided record list for us to track who are the people that are covered by our project. The plastic bottles that we collect from the people are going to be sold in the junk shop, for us to be able to do our main goal, which is to give people one of their needs to survive during this pandemic and that is the groceries.

                      Food is all we need to survive. Many people sleep in the streets, they are starving to death and that is because they have nothing to eat. That's why we did this kind of project to help those people in need of food to eat. And by doing this, we somehow realized that we are also helping our environment to be clean and to be eco-friendly. And we hope that we can inspire other people to help our environment and also the people living under the bridge in Tejero can finally have something healthy to eat even in just a week.  And because of that, we will earn more, through that we will also be able to give a lot of people groceries. In the use of ICT tools, we can promote our project widely. These will help increase the number of people who can help provide plastic bottles. One of the ICT tools that we used is social media. By using social media, we can promote our project because social media has a lot of users. We created a Facebook page and provided an email for the participants to be able to connect with us.
