More on STS Clean UP Drive
















STS Clean and Green Drive




The Student Tourism Society and the Community Development arm of the Institute visited Sitio Buok, Bamban Tarlac yesterday, September 23, 2008 for its Clean and Green Drive. This is in line with the STS' theme for this year's Tourism Week.





The STS and the Community Development team initiated a clean-up drive where about 27 Tourism students initiated a clean up drive where they picked up non-biodegradable wastes around the sitio from 11AM to 1PM. After the clean-up drive, the students also donated seedlings for backyard farming to its this aeta community through its community leader "Dulong". They then proceeded to interview some aeta residents of the community. Sitio Buok in Bamban Tarlac is the Institute's partner community.
