It is a fact that the world has changed. We are more interconnected and
interdependent than ever. It has become a global village. Technological advances and
globalization have considerably reduced the distance that separated us in the past. And
it is a privilege to have the opportunity today to exchange views and experiences on
how to best put into practice the sustainable development agenda.

Many challenges, like for example climate change, disappearing biodiversity,

scarce resources (like water, land or oceans), potential pandemics, poverty, global
security can only be addressed if we join our forces. Only by working closely
together and moving in the same direction will we be able to obtain long-lasting results.

One's standard of living is measured according to his or her income, access to

basic services and amenities, and the conditions in which that person lives. A person's
ability to earn wealth and comfort can improve standard of living for that person, though
it can also lead to a poorer standard of living. Increased income is one way to improve
people's standard of living, as is access to public programs that can help those people
with very little get ahead more quickly. Most changes in standard of living must be
implemented by an entire society, however, which means change can come quite
slowly.
Calauag can improve standard of living for many of its members, for example, simply by
providing efficient means of transportation. When people are allowed to travel, they are
able to get to jobs that may not be close to their homes. This is a common problem
throughout the world, as jobs can be concentrated in small areas but residential areas
may be spread out over greater distances. Public transportation such as trains and
buses are useful in helping a person improve standard of living because that person will
be able to access more services in addition to more jobs.
Access to basic health care is another way to improve Calauag. People who
forgo medical care often lead more difficult lives, as chronic health problems can
develop and prohibit those people from being as productive as possible. Having health
insurance usually ensures a person can access health care when necessary; if health
insurance is not available or a person cannot afford it, health clinics often offer basic
services at lower prices so even less wealthy people can get the treatments they need.

Some countries throughout the world have implemented universal health care, which
insures all citizens of that country can get access to basic health care when necessary.
Getting an education is perhaps one of the most important ways to improve
Calauag. More educated people are more likely to get jobs that pay well and offer health
or retirement benefits. In many societies throughout the world, a high school education
is the bare minimum requirement for securing decent employment. A person with a
college degree is likely to earn more, thereby allowing that person to afford more
amenities for comfort or enjoyment. Leisure time is of course an important element of
one's standard of living, and more educated people tend to have more leisure time as
well as more resources with which to enjoy it. Most parents in Calauag, are contended if
their children finishes elementary only, especially in barrios, even in the slump areas of
Calauag, one can see poverty below the line. They wouldnt send their children to
school, instead they will force them to work in dangerous areas, just to earn extra
income for the family, to sustain their daily basic necessities.
These are some ways to help our fellow Calauagenians:
1) Help your family or relatives back home
I suggest that instead of merely handing dole outs to our relatives, we should:
a) help build values in them;
b) encourage them to pay it forward by adopting their own scholar in the future
once they become a success;
c) encourage the love of work by letting ones scholar relative to be a working
student;
d) encourage civic consciousness
d) encourage personal responsibility by prodding the scholar relative to save and
invest;
f) and encourage entrepreneurship by teaching ones relative to go into business.
2) Livelihood:
Help create a means to live for at least 1 Calauagenian and his family
There are several organizations - credible and long in existence - which offer or act as a
conduit for various livelihood and business opportunities to Filipinos.
3) Houses:
Help build a home for a homeless family. There are organizations in the
Philippines to which you can channel your donation or labor and help build a home for a
homeless family in Calauag.

4) Scholarships
Adopt at least 10 Scholars in High School.
-Sponsor a child to be educated at least in to earn high school diploma.
5) Classrooms, libraries and toilets.
6) Good governance
we can have the government we deserve We need to watch and monitor our
government leaders so that they may be honest, transparent and accountable for their
actions and omissions while in public office. Support groups and organizations that call
and demand for good governance among government officials
7) Environment
Environmental Protection and preservation
