It is knowledge shared by many that obtaining quality education is the basis of making change in the world, no matter if on a small or large scale, but equally as important is the sharing of such obtained knowledge. Former governor of Oklahoma, Brad Henry stated that ?a good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning.? Though this is true, these are the mere roots of such consequences to the extent that it can only be felt, rather than expressed.

This was exactly the case in the Rogationist College - a Catholic Institution in Parañaque, Manila - in which it was the site for service learning for Global Youth for Peace for UNESCO and the Youth Association for Resource Management clubs. Revolving around the teachings of peace, human rights, and resource management, this activity aimed to meet the following objectives some of the many listed below:

1. To provide knowledge regarding human rights, peace, and sustainability through fun, thought-provoking activities

2. To increase awareness on crucial global issues and how any person can initiate action to target them

3. To establish firm cooperation between various communities for mutual support in future events and learning opportunities

4. To evaluate what modes of educational systems are best to implement in public Filipino schools

This article expounds upon the resource management aspect of the trip due to its theme relating to Tunza Eco-Generation?s values and objectives, as well as its effective impacts on the students, many with sub-standard living conditions. This issue especially pertinent in their surrounding rural areas, as a result, the focus was set on recycling, the negative consequences of overconsumption, as well as household habits to conserve electricity, by modes of a speech and a jeopardy style quiz show. As the day progressed, the children even found themselves suggesting personal, concrete ideas to how they could tackle current global issues.

Their learning experience was parallel to ours as well. As many of the participants did not experience interactions with kids from the local community, such practice was beneficial. All in all, however, the feeling of inspiration from seeing the kids enthusiastically learning, sharing ideas, and most importantly, having fun, is very much rewarding.
