Serendipity Walk
A recent stroll in the heart of the busy streets in Cainta opened my eyes on the many opportunities that my city can offer. Cainta, being one of the most urbanized towns in Rizal due to its proximity to Manila, serves as one of the main gateways for travelers to the province of Rizal.
1. Laundry shop for a cause - Regular laundry shop may schedule free dry cleaning or ironing of coat for unemployed Cainta residents who have a scheduled job interview. This can create a buzz and may bring good publicity to the laundry shop. This initiative signifies support to the local government's focus on job-generating opportunities and projects.
2. Promote delicacy store - Uploading of pictures of Aling Kika's Kakanin and other delicacy stores in our Facebook and other social networking sites help spread to our network that we have good products to try when they visit.
3. Umbrellas for rent in local convenience stores--residents may be allowed to borrow umbrella by leaving any government-issued ID or by paying a minimal cost
4. Be-your-own-foreman - lending of construction materials (hammer, screw driver, saw, etc.) at a minimal cost by construction hardwares to families whose main man of the house is working abroad or in nearby cities
5. Cainta River Cruise - A 3- or 5-year program that encourages residents to take care of the river for future job creation (e.g. cruise to foreign guests; cruise can offer a whole new way to see an exotic locale)
6. Rent Some Chicks - A regular pet store may offer a rent scheme at a cost to families who wanted to experience having farm fresh eggs in their backyard; to be rented: 2 hens, coop, accessories, food, etc.); target market: residents in private subdivisions and villages
These ideas may be revisited and fleshed out in future. 3 by JU?
