Learning about our Ba-ëng is FUN!

An effort to keep alive the ancient Ibaloy practice of growing food near the home has taken off in Baguio City. On October 28, 2021, a learning module to teach this Ibaloy practice to children and youth was tested. Activities included ba-ëng tour, artwork, storytelling and actual hands-on practice using the tools and working in the garden. Participants and trainers included young children, youth, adults, and elders, with the inter-generational and interactive exchange of knowledge, ideas, questions and answers. The trainers and mentors of this first training were Vicky Macay, Gabriela Cariño and Josefa Tauli. Caring for the ba-ëng is fun!
