One RockEd Nation

Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire. -William Butler Yeats

Congratulations to RockEd Philippines on its first year anniversary. RockEd is a ten-year campaign aiming to educate the Filipino youth on the Millennium Development Goals and encourage active participation in the achievement of these through volunteerism. This is done through a social education utilizing the arts (poetry, music) and an advocacy through rock culture. RockEd visits schools and communities, it's artist-volunteers giving workshops, concerts and storytelling to children and youth.

Founded by Gang Badoy together with CP David, Ani Almario, Jaime Garchitorena and Meah Ang See, RockEd has to date, visited schools and communities all over the Philippines, bringing together youth, artists and musicians in a synergy only young energy, rock music and an advocacy for love of country can make.

To bring RockEd to your school or community, check out their website.
