September PECH Acitivity

On the 20th of September, Leo Kan Sha organized an environmental project at PECH. The activity was attended by 9 Leos from the club - Leo Kan Sha, Leo Sheng Wei, Leo Eong Xien, Leo Edison, Leo Jia Hong, Leo Hui Ying and Leo Joshua. Also present were guests Pleuni and Luke from Netherlands and Lion Tan Teoh.

The Leos reached the home at around 5.00pm. Before the activity, everyone was asked to contribute by bringing empty bottles, cotton and beans for the environmental awareness project. The activity was started at around 5.30pm with a brief introduction of everybody. Leo Kan Sha then explained the concept of plants and planting, teaching the kids the importance of giving attention and care to the plants while they are growing. While at the same time, some of the Leos prepared the ‘vase’ for the plants by cutting the empty bottles.

After the explanation, Leo Kan Sha brought the kids out to the garden. He explained to the kids that every one of them should take 2 bottle ‘vase’ and place cotton, beans and water in each. Then, one bottle should be labeled a ‘smiling face’ while the other a ‘sad face’. After the kids have done so, Leo Kan Sha told them to constantly talk and give attention to the plants in the ‘smiling face’ while ignoring the other. If the experiment goes right, the plants in the former vase would grow faster than the other. At around 6.30pm, Leo Kan Sha gathered the kids back at the home again. After some more explanation, the Leos said their goodbyes to the kids. After a group photo session, the Leos left PECH at around 7.00pm.
