Daang Kalabaw Community Garden would like to thank Batch 4 of the UP Open University (UPOU) Organic Agriculture course for visiting us last Saturday. It was a really fulfilling experience for all of us, especially the kids because they saw how our community looked like a few years ago. And now people started coming to visit us (and giving us cookies!) and appreciate what we have been working on for the past two years.

It's really great to share the feeling with the younger generation. And they're also experiencing success along with me in terms of community solidarity and improving the landscape of where we live in. At least, they now know the joy of gardening and growing your own food. Our story is not really unique. I know there are many communities out there who have done the same. The difference is, we really made an effort to show the outside world what we have been doing here. From beginning to present. It encourages and inspires others to do the same. Let's not do this for the sake of becoming famous, for money, or any crooked or greedy reasons. Let's do this because this is the right thing to do. It's the way people should live. To be good stewards of creation, one that values life, nature, and the Creator who designed all of this for us to enjoy.
