A three-day training session will be held in the Centre for trainees, 18 years old and above, by Tina Decal. Tina Decal is a professional tourist guide, who has been in the tourism industry for a vast number of years and a proud Sariayahin. Its objective is to train the youth to know more about the history of the town and be proud of it as well as earn some income as he/she introduces the historical as well as interesting spots in Sariaya. Eric Dedace, from the Sariaya Tourism Council, will also be present to act as a resource person and expert of Sariaya history.

The Groundbreaking started on 22 September 2012 with the beneficiaries, a group who call themselves "Sahod Ulan", rice farmers who will be able to harvest instead of once a year, can, after the completion of the project, harvest twice.
