The clay workshop was directed toward Bangladeshi and Filipino children, and their supportive parents.

Ambassador Alan Deniega graced the activity and thanked the participants, saying that he hoped that the workshop has inspired the children to support the protection of sea creatures and the conservation of the marine environment. He also noted that it is important to start such a consciousness among the young.

MANA MO activities have been organized by various Philippine embassies and posts to raise awareness of the vast marine environment of the Philippines, and to enhance the consciousness of the public in protecting marine ecosystems and the life that they sustain.

Apart from the workshop, a short video presentation about the Philippine Rise, a marine protected area in the Philippines, was also shown to the participants before the start of the workshop.
