GW Talk @ Hougang Sheng Hong Student Care (06 Nov)

Ms Ng Lai Yoong, supervisor of Hougang Sheng Hong Student Care Center, invited Earth Society to conduct a Global Warming talk to 45 primary school students on 06 Nov.

Mr Low conducted the talk from 3.30 till 4.10pm followed by a 10 mins Quiz.

The talk and quiz was very well-received by the students & staff.

Feedback from Staffs & students:

The seminar is very well organized, easy enough for primary school students to understand. Keep up the good work!       

- Ms Catherine Hong, Staff

I enjoyed this talk very much. I think Singaporeans especially children need to have this kind of talk on Global warming more often even though they have heard about it before. Maybe adopting a weekly Veggie Thursday meal will be good for everyone.

I learn to eat less meat and use less paper. If we use too much paper, a lot of trees will be cut down. I also learnt not to waste food as there are many people in other countries that are starving.                 – Lim Xin Ni, student

The talk is educational. It helps us learn more about Mother Earth. – Anushika, student
