Earth day event with street children |
|---|
|
As an environmental & social activist, I have been teaching eco-crafts to around 37 children at the market. They don't go to normal schools like us as they have to earn money from a young age. My friends and I (Green Team Indonesia) are now having a mission to empower them in strengthening their skills in eco-crafting, such as making useful items out of plastic bottles, making paper plates out of old newspapers etc. Besides crafting, we also introduce them on how to celebrate some events. On April 23rd, we finally held an event for them to celebrate 3 big days with us: Kartini Day, Earth Day and World Book Day. As founder of Green Team Indonesia and Tunza's Regional Ambassador, I officially gave a bucket of Sunflower plant to the representative of our City Mayor as the symbol of celebrating Earth Day. We planted the Sunflower together with the kids and they have an obligation to take care of it. We chose Sunflower because it represents the Sun. The Sun always shines without hoping for anything in return. The Sun always shines for us sincerely. Just as how we have been towards those kids and the environment. We do volunteering sincerely and without hoping for anything in return. I think that's what we should learn from the Sun.
