10th July 2016- Our programmes for schools have resumed again following a hiatus of a few months. As in previous years, most of our environmental activities for students are in the latter half of the year when schools are less busy with academic work and sports. Next week on the 12 of July 2016, 19 students from SJKC Brinchang will be participating in the above programme. We are also fortunate that for the next 3 months , which coincide with the long summer break of universities, we will have more volunteers .

English based Environmental Awareness Programme Commences
28th July 2015-Our first programme to raise environmental awareness in schools in Cameron Highlands started in SJK Tamil,Ringlet The program was conducted in English and around 25 students participated.
We started with showing a video on environmental degradation in Cameron Highlands. After reflecting on what they saw and a short discussion…we did a show and tell on transport toys which we had taken from the kids .. This was followed by a lively group discussion .. After this they did a work sheet based on what they had learnt .. Finally they made a collage based on nature .. On another Manila card they wrote out all the new environment related words they had learnt .. It was a great learning experience from the kids both from the point of improving their language proficiency and expressing their concerns about what is happening in Cameron highlands .
