When it comes to water conservation, we believe it starts at home… with our children. It is so easy to teach children from the very beginning the importance of conserving one of the Earth’s most valuable resources. Together, we can build a foundation of knowledge so our children all grow up to be stewards of the Earth. Therefore our project in agape Little Uni.@ Compassvale for SSDB 2017 is “ Water Conservation.”
There are many ways to educate parents, children and community to conserve water. One of the ways is to partnership with the parents. Our Vice Principal, Ms Germaine conducted a parent workshop to coach the parents different ways to instill water conservation at home and in public places. The parents were excited and volunteered to conduct activities with the children during the holidays.
