If rain shower is God’s way to bless our environment and His people, then the Kauswagan Christmas Party Treat for Children 2010 has no excuse. Amidst the pouring rain, it turned out to be a complete success.

In connection with the Earth Day celebration and in support to the Kool Earth Aklan Environmental Advocacy Group for a Cleaner and Greener Environment, a contest for Non-biodegradable gown is a special feature which highlighted the annual celebration of the Christmas Street Party by the Kauswagan Youth Movement (KYM), Poblacion, Numancia, Aklan.

Ms. Megs Lunn of Kool Earth, cited with great pride and enthusiasm the relevance of beauty, ingenuity and competitiveness in promoting cleaner and greener environment.

There are four contestants who competed for the non-biodegradable gown contest. They are Dan Reb Regalado, Kint Yrll Regalado, Harvey Macahilas, and Felmari Tapican. Kint Yrll Regalado was unanimously conferred the title: the Best In Non-biodegradable Gown by the panel of judges who are Megs Lunn, Atty.

The KYM of Brgy. Poblacion, Numancia is supporting Kool Earth on environmental advocacies in Aklan. Thru its active members, Megs Lunn who is a long-time adviser of the KYM supports the advocacy by initiating a community based under-taking.
