On the morning of the 24th September 2019, I watched with a huge sigh of relief, the North-Easterly winds returning with a vengence. (Just as the meteorological department said it would) The clouds overhead were rushing across the skies,from the peaks of Gunung Berembun to the peaks of Gunung Jasar, chasing away the month long haze which had enveloped the mountains and valleys like mist turning acrid.

The reforestation activities were going on in full swing and the last thing we need is bad air. We had completed the programmes for a few schools but had to postpone one due to heavy rains and another due to  haze.

The reforestation activities are
