My First Environmental Workshop Under TUNZA Eco-Generation |
|---|
|
On the 26th of September 2016 happened to be my first workshop on environmental sustainability under Tunza Eco-generation. I decided not to host a big event rather I visited MIMS comprehensive college, a secondary school few blocks to my house to discuss environmental pollution. The principal, Mr Salaudeen H.A. gladly accepted my invitation where he introduced me to the students as Tunza Eco-generation Nigerian ambassador. It was quite easy for me since most of them live in the community and must have seen some of the polluted sites. I introduced them to environment pollution starting with its definition and causes. I highlighted and focused on some of the popular polluted sites in the community which spurred a debate in the class when I asked them ?who is to blame, the government or the citizens?? Although, majority said the government should be blamed but both parties gave concrete proves. I told them as a citizen they shouldn?t wait for the government rather they should take actions to solve the environmental challenges in their communities, either by volunteering as a group to clean up the polluted sites or meet with the local government officials and explain to them why it?s exigent to maintain a clean and safe environment. At the end of the interaction, they asked questions which I answered and we all agreed to fix a date when we will all visit one of the polluted sites in the community and clean it up. I gave gifts on behalf of Tunza Eco-generation to students who were active and answered questions during the program. |

Great job Kamaldeen, way to go! First of all, congrats for successfully finishing your first workshop experience. It must have been tough to lead the program in front of a lot of people. I am eager to hear more about the future plans, visiting the polluted sites. Thanks for sharing, and have a great day!

Well begun & congrats. I agree, we must focus on our actions instead of waiting for government to act. We all are part of government & actually government in nothing but people like all of us. We take one step & people join & support you.

It's a very great initiative. when we engage children and youth in the political process to preserve the environment, I think it's the best way to achieve the goal.
Congratulation Ksssim. Keep going
