What is your purpose to take up Project Orion?

Basically, there are quite purposes in taking up Project Orion. First of all, it would require me to step out of my comfort zone to actually do something for the world, in particular, the environment. Secondly, I feel that since I’m still young, why not do something constructive? Therefore, Project Orion is an opportunity for me to actually take the first bold step to do something.


What are your aims for Project Orion?

I hope to be able to share the great experiences from this project to the people in my life, and hope that my actions will inspire others to take up something similar, especially my friends & the people around me.


What do you think about the environment currently?

I will definitely say that the world is in a crisis compared to how it was before, all we can do now is to conserve mother earth, and help to spread the world of going green.


What service do you have to offer to save the environment?

I feel that I’m somebody who has good leadership, and also having an outgoing personality, I will say bring up the morale of the team, so that everyone will be at their 101%, at the same time not forgetting the main purpose of the trip.
