La Salle Brickfield's Contribution

Of their own volition and through the capable hands of their very committed teacher, La Salle Brickfields brings to the table their own version of Earth Hour-Day.

In collaboration with the Earth day celebration, I showed my students some video clips on Earth Day, a few animal planet Earth Day promotional video clips (of which I got them from Toh Shaw Shiuan from St Andrew's Muar), and then we sang some songs.

After that we had a reflection session on how we can save the world in our own might or capability. I passed around a piece of paper on which they can write their earth day pledge and give their very own 'stamp of approval' on it. It sdidn't have to be something big, it can be something that we can start to put to practice everyday.

Though only five members turned up, I personally feel that quantity is not as important as the quality that we would like to instill in our students, i.e. the sense of responsibility to our environment @ mother earth.

St Joseph's Kuching does their part for Earth Hour-Day. Here's a short sharing from Lasallians Gabriel Wong and Reuben Then:

Gathering at the Park, armed with rubbish bags, ready to battle :)

We gathered at the reservoir park at 8.30a.m, with teachers, Puan Stella and Puan Freda.

After that, Nicky briefed us about what we were to do. We were then separated into smaller groups so more areas of the park can be covered quickly.

We met many people while cleaning up the park, and some of the senior citizens also praised us for the time and effort taken in cleaning the park. One of them was our very own Lasallian Brother, Brother Justin!

Personally, it felt good being able to do my part for Mother Nature. Although it wasn’t much, but it’s a belief that a small gesture goes a long way. It felt even better after some of the senior citizen who was walking there in the park approached us and complimented us for the time taken to help clean up the park.

At the end of the day, the only feeling to describe it was just AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME, and it left me wanting for more. Caring and taking care of Mother Nature should go on, instead of just the one day in conjunction of Earth Day. Peace!

Reuben and Peter doing their part

When I first started doing the cleaning up, I felt a bit unwilling as I have never done it before. I even questioned myself to why should I do it. But as I get into the task, something struck me and I did it with an open heart. I never knew it can be much fun especially when you have friends doing it with you, who believe in the cause for what they are doing it for. I learnt that from the worst job or task that we are asked to do, there is always something fun and positive behind it.
