The first WEALTH of a person is HEALTH. If a child is sick or is receiving poor nutrition, no matter how gifted that child is or even a genius child could no excel if one doesn't receive the right form of nutritional support. Aside from that, proper knowledge in the masses about health is also limited. This should not be the case since this is the future generation that we are talking about and they must be well supported for the future of our nation.

Truly we live in very interesting times, not only our nutrition and health are somewhat intertwined with the problems of community hygiene, education and food but also, with agriculture, environment and climate change. These issues we are facing in these interesting times cannot be solved by the same line of thought of the current generation of leaders and movers. This is where the youth must come in and help out in the problems in our community and what better way to show this by inviting young, enthusiastic students to share their creative ideas!

By partnering with more youth on this cause, the higher the chances of helping more communities become healthier and more productive.  Fifteen communities all over the country will benefit from this expansion through the social marketing programs by 15 youth teams that will all receive PHP100,000 seed money for
the implementation of their ideas.

The groups will also be flown in to Manila, with free hotel accommodation, meals, and transportation, to attend a 3-day boot camp where they can learn social marketing approaches from a pool of experts through workshops and case studies.
This year, not only is the program expanding to cover more regions, but UNILAB is also giving more focus on outcomes. The reward for the best teams will only be after they have demonstrated that their positive ideas have resulted in positive outcomes for the community.

Interested college students can join by teaming up and registering at www.unilabideaspositive.com. Deadline for submission of entries is on April 16.
