CELEBRATING WED |
---|

In the spirit of World Environment Day (WED), I decided to share Green Living with pupils. Choosing pupils over student was a deliberate choice because I am a strong advocator of a better tomorrow through re-orienting the younger generation. Picking a school was a little difficult because there are lots of them here (albeit ill equipped). One thing was certain, I was taking my campaign to the grass root. I sent out letters and it wasn?t a surprise to me when a neighbouring school close to where I once taught gave me a nod. On the dawn of 12th June 2015, I packed my bad with my teaching aids and souvenir and set out for the journey. Thanks to Tunza Eco-generation t-shirt, identifying myself was lot easier. I was greeted by familiar faces, children who defected from the school I once taught to the neighbouring school for-God-knows-what reasons. Their enthusiasm and thrill from viewing the graphic images from my laptop glared on their faces. They sold me their unwavering silence (mind you, silence is a rare thing among children in this vicinity). I was elated myself when the children understood what a solar panel was and one of them pointed out to me that they had one in their house. they also answered some of the questions I threw to them to my admiration. We enjoyed ourselves and at the end of the lesson, I asked them questions pertaining what I just taught them and though they raised their hands, not all were lucky to get my souvenir. It is so wonderful and fulfilling to contribute to mother earth. Before I left, I dropped the lesson note with the Head teacher and beckoned on him to find a way of including it into their syllable and he agreed. I went home a happy man. |

Well done! It's great to see children from an early age to learn about solar panels. Especially in Nigeria where there is a lot of sun, solar panels must be very efficient!
