It was a cloudy Saturday morning where we Project Orion Rovers went for our second pre-event at Raffles Girls School. Our main objective was to learn how to reuse used cooking oil into making soap. And by learning this, we hope we can introduce it to those in the village at Setiu and use this opportunity to generate more revenue. The workshop, which is called Project Grease, was facilitated by Secondary 3 girls from Raffles. Here are some of the photos taken from the event this morning.

All in all it was a fruitful event and we really hope to make full use of the opportunity to share this with the people in Setiu.
