  • Location: ‎⁨Calagnaan Island⁩, Carles (Philipppines)
  • Note: A little poem about a new bamboo forest to cover a beautiful island again with trees. The bamboo creates a livelihood for the people (using it to build their houses and boats) and a future for the children (clean air and erosion control). Every child and parent on the island spent the morning planting bamboo at the very top of their  island.

To engage fully in the work of art, all you really need are the skills you already have. ERIC BOOTH.
