Project Orion Supports UN’s Billion Tree Campaign!
The team aims to plant 1000 trees in our Scouts of the World Voluntary. A total of 60 scouts from SK Mangkok, Kumpulan Latihan Kelanasiswa Malaysia (KLKM) Rovers and Project Orion were involved in the replanting session. The crew started to transfer the tress from WWF nursery since 7.30am to the planting ground. In our first session of tree planting, we manage to plant 400 trees which we started at 8am till 10am.
After breakfast, second session starts and we managed to plant another 200 trees before the Friday prayers. Tree planting program attracted Sinar Harian Newspaper whereby the community event will be published in their newspaper tomorrow. Mr. Hj. Rosdi , State Commissioner KLKM, also joined in the planting session and he was very glad to be involved with the local scout community. Phase II will start tomorrow by PO Crew as early as the sun rises - towards planting 1000 trees!
After lunch the team cycle back to Pink House for a break. 6pm sharp, the team heads to the turtle hatchery for the excavation session conducted by Kak Nurul. New things we learnt, new experience gained, new happenings …
After our delicious dinner at Kak Tah’s house , Kak Nurul received good news – “50 hatchlings, with origins from Telaga Papan 2 just emerged.”. So the crew end up the day with releasing the baby turtles at Telaga Papan 2.
Signing off,
