Pro-teach Staff Event (01 Sep)

Pro-teach is a well-established company that runs 28 student care center/tution center in Singapore. In the begining of 2011, all Pro-teach centers have adopt a policy to provide plant-based food to their students on Thursdays. [Some centers provide plant-based food more than one day a week.]

On 01 Sep, Pro-teach CEO, Ms Peggy Ong, invited Mr Low, Dr Priya (a homopathic doctor) & Mr George Jacob (President of Vege Society Singapore) to speak to 80 Pro-teach teachers and staffs.


Dr Priya spoke on the Health benefits of a Vege Diet, Mr George spoke on Kindness to animals while Mr Low spoke on Global Warming and Solutions to climate change.

After the presentations, Pro-teach staffs asked questions on Health & Environment during the Q & A session.

During the event, CEO Ms Peggy Ong shared a piece of good news: After Pro-teach's Branch Heads attended the Env & Health talk held in May, many of them realize the impacts our diet have on the environment & on human health, thus they are very supportive of the Veggie Thursday policy. Ms Peggy Ong announced that :
"Out of 28 Pro-Teach branches, 15 are offering plant-based meals twice a week now, 1 branch 3 times a week, 1 branch 4 times a week and 3 branches everyday! Before our May talk, only 8 branches volunteered 2x weekly, the remaining 20 just 1x weekly. The number has since doubled. I await some good news from the branches for more frequent plant-based menu. :) "

Bravo ... That was very encouraging indeed.

We wish Pro-teach all the best in their efforts to provide plant-based meals for the students under their care.
