  🎬 Behind the Scenes of Change Last week marked the start of the 360-filming journey for the Enviro Champs, Green-Learn-to-Earn programme 🎥♻️ From community collection points to meaningful conversations filled with passion and purpose, the filming captured the heart of what this programme is all about — people, impact, and the journey from skills to livelihood. 🌍✨ We were also able to delve deeper into the participants’ lives by visiting their homes, getting to know them on a personal level, and gaining a better understanding of how the SEF Green Learn-to-Earn project has positively improved their livelihoods and created new opportunities within their communities 💚 A huge shoutout to the Enviro Champs who shared their stories and allowed us a glimpse into the incredible work happening every single day. Day 1 and Day 2 of filming are complete, and this is only the beginning… stay tuned to watch the finished 360 video and experience the full journey from every angle 👀🎬.
