MY ENVIRONMENT MY RESPONSIBILITY |
|---|

Hello to all ambassadors and warm greetings from Cameroun. It was a cold Tuesday morning of April and I had an appointment with the students of FRANKLINE SECONDARY SCHOOL, YAOUNDE, it was a talk titled, MY ENVIRONMENT , MY SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY . I was with a few members of the green volunteer team and started by introducing myself and unveiling the objectives of TUNZA and telling them about this wonderful environmental networking platform by the UNEP and Samsung company to empower children and youths about their environment, problems affecting it and how they can take action. I made them to understand that we out to create awareness, impact, network and take action on our local communities. I did a 30minutes interactive talk on global environmentalism, climate change with focus on the vulnerability of Cameroun by using local examples of climate variability and agriculture. Where most local farmer because of uncertainty in rainful, cannot know when to plant their crops resulting in poor harvest. Since most of agriculture is rainfed .I ended with the way forward by talking about adaptation and mitigation and how they can take action at their local level. The conversation was so interesting and what made me happy is that most of them were not current but curious to learn and create an impact in their local communities. They were so interested to take immediate action and so i quickly link them to the tunza website. The teachers and staffs ask that I should create an environmental club in this institution and pass time and again to monitor it. I would like to thank the ECO-GENERATION TEAM for this wonderful opportunity full of fun, advocacy and positive impact. This initiative is one of its kind, after the interactive talk there was immediate breakthrough on how this youths perceive their environment through my evaluation survey analysis and most importantly they were anxious to jion the newly form environmental club which a long term impact to continue this fight . Our environment is our social responsibility. Ambassador AZIEH EDWIN, YAOUNDE .CAMEROON.
