PHL to Host Let’s Do It! Regional Conference 2014 for Asia

A number of non-profit organizations, volunteers and delegates from across Asia will get together in Cebu, Philippines this year for the staging of the second Let’s Do It! Regional Conference for Asia on November 27-30 2014.

To open the conference on November 27, local cleanup movements, organizations and artists of the EcoArt Exhibit 2014 will be recognized and awarded at the Cebu City Hall, to be participated by more than 50 delegates all over Asia and Europe.

The Regional Conference 2014 for Asia is organized by Let’s Do It in partnership with SEED4Com, Clean Up the Philippines Movement, Office of Cebu City Committee on Environment, Province of Cebu and the Rotary Club of Mandaue East and will be held at the San Remigio Beach Club Resort, the official accommodation partner.

During the conference, following themes will be discussed and workshops will take place: Let’s Do It World – experiences from different countries, team building, PR / communication, marketing / finances, logistics and mapping, identity of the project, Zero Waste and waste management in the future.

The province of Cebu has been one of the first respondents to take action of relief efforts right after the earthquake struck Bohol and the typhoon Haiyan hit most parts of the Visayas region. Previous disasters have made us Filipinos more proactive and aware of what’s going on around our environment. As volunteers from different sectors, we will come together and take action as one to have a better and cleaner world as various environmental issues are starting to knock on our doorstep.

After the LDI Asia Regional Conference, we hope to push on our own National Cleanup Day in the Philippines that will fall on every third Saturday of September to unite all efforts to be done around the country. To have our own National Cleanup Day will raise the awareness nationwide and encourage more Filipinos to continue working on our advocacy, offer workshops and organize events that will lead to positively contribute for ecological sustainability.
