Clean streams for Makati: restoring the Liberty wetland
Volunteers are restoring the Liberty wetland in Makati; $350 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇵🇭 Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines911 views
The Liberty wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 106 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 40 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, including native species selected by a local botanist.
The area floods more each year, and fish have returned for the first time in a decade after our first cleanup. Restoring it will protect homes and bring back shade.
All the labor is volunteered. We just need materials.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $350 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $220
• Tools and protective gear: $110
• Signage and educational materials: $20
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hang in there, Jomar. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Makati.
Hope this works out for you. After 27 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Thinking of you, Jomar. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Wishing you the best, Jomar. Your post was clear and honest
Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Saint Petersburg.
You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta so I could bring a meal!
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
