The Bottle School Run
The work of social entrepreneurs is to use innovative solutions to society’s most pressing problems. This year, a critical agenda is when a million young school children’s education was disrupted and the loss
of 2,800 pre-school classrooms to the typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng. Instead of a limited donor model, we would want to ask you to become the first to use the popular running activity to create an community based, people-empowered solution.
Together, we will be building the first soda PET bottle school in the country to replace and rebuild a damaged school in Taguig. Using a donation of two bottles with a 1.5 or 2 liter size of any soda brand, and your running fee, we will be able to use the bottles as hollow blocks and the money for materials and cement.

THE BOTTLE SCHOOL RUN is a sustainable and empowered system that can be replicated anywhere in the country, and we just need you to help us start. If before you ran for singlets, for time, for a cause, then this time run for something different, a solution that can change the world.
EVENT: THE BOTTLE SCHOOL RUN
DATE: SUNDAY, JUNE 13, 2010
PLACE: BONIFACIO, NBC tent
PARTICIPANTS: Anybody Who Wants to Make a Difference
DISTANCE: 3, 5, 10 K

We hope that you can be part of this run. It is so much about you as it is about the people you are helping in a concrete way; not through a hand out, but in an empowered way so that they can continue to be a sustainable part of the solution long after funds from this event are invested in the pioneer build.

More areas to train and run shall help develop our sport further and even provide better training facilities for our athletes competing here and abroad. On the other hand, runners who are living within the city won’t need to go to ULTRA or Rizal Memorial Track Oval anymore to do their training. Also with this project Metro Manila will have an almost complete training venue in its major cities.
