The teachers of Campaasan Elementary School in Oriental Mindoro are proving that teaching is more than a profession.

For them, it is a vocation.

They recently launched Halaman Ko, Barter Mo, where they trade plants for printing supplies, activity sheets, and health kits to be used by their students in the coming academic year.

The project is led by principal Lucy Ferranco, and was launched on her online store on July 13, 2020.

Ferranco said in an interview with DZMM TeleRadyo on July 16, "Ang idea po ay galing talaga sa akin.

"Mahilig talaga ako sa halamanan and online seller din po ako kaya gamay ko iyong barteran.

"So kinausap ko iyong aking mga guro, sobrang sisipag po ng mga guro ko dito, mga co-teachers ko.

"Why not, kako, isip tayo ng paraan na we will be spreading positivity pero hindi halata na humihingi dahil alam namin na walang ligtas sa pandemyang ito, lahat apektado..."

She talked more about the project in this video.
