The BOTTLE SCHOOL RUN 2010

A week ago, I had a POST about an email I received from the proponents of My Shelter, as headed by Mr. Illac Diaz. They have this project called the Bottle School Project, aimed at building schools through PET bottles. And with this project, they thought of coming up with a race that will support this cause.  Folks, find below the more useful details of the race which I encourage everyone to join in. There are no singlets BUT we surely could help them build the schools this country oh-so need to have. Read on!

The Bottle School Run
Runners Could Be Advocates

Last year, a million young school children’s education was disrupted and about 2,800 pre-school classrooms were destroyed due to the typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng.

This year, through the pioneering efforts and innovative solutions of MYSHELTER spearheaded by the country’s noted social entrepreneur Illac Diaz, a one-of-kind run-for-a-cause dubbed as The Bottle School Run will be staged at Bonifacio Global City on June 13. All proceeds of this noteworthy race will be used to replace and rebuild a damaged school in Taguig using a ground-breaking architectural model – school classrooms mainly made of soda PET bottles.

Now, runners of all persuasions are invited to actively take part in a unique racing event to create a community-based, people-empowered solution which starts with building ecologically-sound and architecturally-revolutionary classrooms for children aspiring to pursue a path of literacy and knowledge. 

The Bottle School Run is a distinctive race for seasoned and beginner runners, alike, as it provides them an opportunity to become advocate runners who could champion an honest cause, a solution that can change the world. It sets a symbolic backdrop where the chase of each participant runners for individual personal record enables beneficiary children chase their dream of obtaining education.

Planet Sports Trinoma (1pm to 8pm)
