Protecting the environment is a responsibility of all of us. We have a role to play in protecting the environment by teaching our children and kids about protecting the environment through various ways such as picking up and properly disposing of trash and recyclables, which is a great example of a selfless environmentally friendly act. Therefore, this type of programs will continue in future to educate our children and kids about environmental sustainability to encourage them to take meaningful action in protecting and preserving our environment.
Finally, gifts were handed over to youth volunteers and other volunteers, and foods and drinks were provided accordingly.
