The project is in conjunction with the One Million Trees project of the LaSallian Institute for the Environment. According to the OMT, The total number of trees planted by DLS-CSB from 2006 to date is 270,570 trees. OMTB is part of the Project Carbon Neutral of De La Salle Philippines. It is envisioned to help offset the carbon footprint of all Lasallian institutions in the country, eventually leading to carbon neutrality or zero carbon emission.

DESIGN MATTERS EXHIBIT OPENING

From September to December 2010, Multimedia Arts students of the School and Design and Arts took part in the DESIGN MATTERS workshop conducted by Liga Grafica. During the said workshop the students collaborated with different advocacies as they explored and created the best design solution that would benefit others.



This exhibit is the culmination of the DESIGN MATTERS WORKSHOP. As you go through the different works, you'll see how the students became aware and responsible for the power that they have. With SDEAS as "Client," five groups came up with five equally unique and moving campaigns. Deaf students were encouraged to view the exhibit.



The Design Matters exhibit will run from April 6-13, 2011, DLS-CSB SDA Building, MCAD.



The Design Matters: How Do You Heal The World exhibit opening was last April 6, 2011. It was attended by other clients with other causes and guests as well as the full support of the DLS-CSB community.
Mr. Leo Sulse, OIC-Chairperson, SDEAS Center for Academics was personally invited for the turnover of the students' campaigns and the School is more than welcome to use any or all of the students' submitted works to address its current needs. He was accompanied by Ms. Joyce Dalawampu, SDEAS CPD Communications Coordinator and Mr. Michael "Auch" Autencio as interpreter.

SDEAS Community celebrates the 5th Women’s Month


By: Patrick Silver Silvestre Padao

The theme of the 5th Women’s Month Celebration is
“RECOGNIZING WOMEN’S CONTRIBUTIONS IN CREATING A HEALTHY SOCIETY”




Last March 14-18, 2011, the  SDEAS Deaf Community had a Women’s Month Celebration. Many   attended the activities: Holy Mass,   Exhibit, Women’s Day Orientation, “Healthcare System Access for Deaf Women”, Forum: Capabilities of Deaf Women, Film Showing:”Mother Teresa”, “Women: Great Contributors in having a Successful Family Relationship”, We are Valuable: Uplifting Women’s Self-Esteem in Relationships”, Announcement of Winners/competition (Exhibit), Fun Games ”Women’s Month Celebration” and Closing Program. 
SDEAS is  proud to have a lot of opportunities during Women’s Month Celebrations. These events are important to the Deaf.  It is very important to have education opportunities for the Deaf women to become good leaders and to empower our Deaf community/society.


I felt very happy with the Deaf women students who participated our fun games for the first time because in the past events we had some male and female who participated in our games. That was really fun to see them playing basketball versus the other female students. It was enjoyable and overwhelming    to watch  Women’s Pinoy Henyo with the SDEAS community.    I hope to continue with these events and continue having better ones too every year.-Ms.Myra Medrana

I  was very emotional about the Film Showing Mother Teresa. She   helped the  poor people who needed food but it was very sad because in the film some government did not support the  people.   Mother Teresa fed the poor people and never left them.  It was very emotional and it hurts me, I feel like I want to help  the society and be a good leader like  Mother Teresa.-Jasmin Rivera
