First of all, a big "Thank you" please for following this project of bringing Music & Arts tour by Marlon aka to the Visayas and Mindanao in the Philippines. First stop, Negros Oriental.
Since Marlon travelled to Negros by end of March, doing gigs in the streets of Bayawan, answering radio & newspaper interviews, working with the local government and helping with bamboo innovations, finally he have had his first workshop today, Friday the 13th.
Art workshop with the out -of-school teens
There were 6 teens that participated today as seen from all these images that Marlon sent to me earlier today.
Who wants to join the tour and promote the platform?
Bamboo mugs
Fresh from his bamboo innovations from yesterday, this workshop consisted of renovating OLD BAMBOO MUGS.
Fancy that? Very eco-friendly!
Surely lives were enriched today.
I would have thought that new ones are preferable, but maybe there is that allure of bringing old and antique bamboo mugs back to life.
They won't leak unless they got broken, though I questioned Marlon if the handles will be secure. Please ask Marlon anything, he will be happy to answer any queries anyone might have.
Bamboo Planting on the 24-25th
Funds are still being raised for the coming Bamboo Planting to be held this month in Bayawan City. Marlon will then proceed to Bacolod City to kick-start the tour.
This project is in lieu to one of Steemit Philippines' mission:
To promote the platform through our CHARITY initiatives.
Please join us in promoting the platform as we need speakers for the events and do live radio shows & newspaper interviews.
