Last June 3, 2026, the Ateneo de IloiloโSenior High Student Council of S.Y. 2025-2026, together with student volunteers, contributed to this yearโs Brigada Eskwela at Jalandoni Memorial Elementary School.
One of the activities during the project was the launch of a garden initiative, beginning with the planting of seeds during Brigada Eskwela. Our student volunteers helped clean, organize, and prepare the school garden, planting seeds that would eventually grow into crops such as okra, saluyot or jute leaves, pole sitao, and more.
Months later, these seeds have grown into healthy plants. The students and teachers of Jalandoni have now harvested the first batch of these vegetables, which they used to prepare laswa and enjoyed together as a meal.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Maโam Jobail, Maโam Che, and Maโam CJ, the kindergarten teachers of Jalandoni, as well as the students and parents who helped harvest, prepare, and cook the meal.
We also thank our student volunteers for their efforts in starting the garden. What began as a simple act of service during Brigada Eskwela has grown into a meaningful and sustainable
source of food and nutrients for the studentsโone that the school can continue to care for and maintain.
This harvest is a reminder that meaningful contributions do not always have to be grand. May we continue to live out the call of Laudato Siโ by caring for our common home and nurturing initiatives that create lasting impact. May this garden inspire us to remain committed to serving our community and contributing more for those we serve, today and beyond.
