All in this together!!

Guess which is Me?? XD 

Anyway, hello there and thank you for supporting the "Connect2Conserve" campaign and reading our blog!! As you all know, the C2C campaign is a success because we collected total 1001 unwanted phones which is equivalent to Nokia is donating 1001 USD to WWF Malaysia!! A very job well done to the Sea Armies and you guys who came and supported this campaign!!

Mission Accomplished!

Finally it has come to the end of Connect2Conserve Challenge where our Dean of Faculty of Social Science, Arts and Humanities, Mr. Lee Hwee Chuin as well as Programme Leader of Faculty of Social Science, Arts and Humanities, Mr. Chuan Tek Pheung transformed into 'Old-Aged Mutant Ninja Turtle', by wearing the turtle shell all day long after hitting the target of 400 phones and 288 phones during the 3 days Connect2Conserve campaign.

Does our Dean of Faculty of Social Science, Arts and Humanities, Mr. Lee Hwee Chuin looks incredibly adorable with the turtle shell?

From 0 to 1001

From 0 to 1001, it is not just a figure but it is the process, the process of how the sea armies run the connect 2 conserve campaign which required to collect the unwanted or spoiled mobile phones to save turtles and from 0 phones collected to successfully achieved 1001 unwanted phones for the campaign.

1001 such a big figure of amount phones collected, it is a breaking record. A record that advanced diploma students achieved for the first time in the college.

Let's have some flashback for the campaign, from pre-event hard work to closing ceremony of the campaign. It is like a journey for students to learned to be in a team, start the teamwork that assigned, learned to run the campaign, believe and follow leader instruction, learned to communicate with a group of people who from different classes, learned to have time management to assigned job task and respect others hard work. All these are done by a team, we get succeed because of the team work although there is always have some argument during the process but still we get through it.

It's NOT end yet!!

Throughout the past one month, the sea armies have been working hard and staying back till late night. All these have built up every single detail, such as the exhibition booths information and designs, the turtle shells, the costume for Poseidon and etc that made up the whole successful campaign. During the dismantle session on the last day of event, everything, including the hard works, seemed to be brushed off together with all the props and exhibition materials.

Closing of Connect2Conserve!

Closing Ceremony:

Connect2Conserve Campaign had come to the last day where a lot of crowds have gathered for the important closing ceremony. At 4.30p.m, the ceremony had started off with the announcement of winners for the “Guess the Egg” who will walk away with premium set of Nokia’s merchandises. Mr Lee Hwee Chuin, the Head of School of Social Science, Arts and Humanities was invited onto the stage to present the prizes to the winners. Before that, the eggs in the box were counted by Mr Lee and it turned out to be 136 eggs inside the box. There were a total of 18 winners who are lucky enough to guess the right amount.

The counting of turtle eggs for the right amount

"The Final Sprint" of the campaign

Today is the last day for Connect to Conserve campaign. From my observation and research, I found that some of the sea armies are worried about the target of the recycled phone either can achieve or not. It's already making them feel nerve and keep asking their friends to recycle/donate old phones.

Besides that, some of them are also confused about how the closing ceremony runs. So, we are having the briefing and rehearsal about the closing ceremony before the campaign start.

The Poseidon are practice his own script; One of the sea armies are caring the DSLR in order to shoot the nice photo during the closing ceremony; One of the sea armies are stand on the stage and trying to find the right place for the VIP and winners of the lucky draw and game's booth.

Continue on Day 2 Connect2Conserve Campaign

The WWF managed to get pledges from the public so that sea turtles can be saved. The small puzzle pieces slowly to form a big picture where it symbolizes small effort by each person, big difference can be made! The public able to get a lot of information from WWF about conservation projects that they done and what they can do to contribute to this conservation project. The public were delighted as they got chance to help the helpless sea turtles to live a normal life.

Near completion, good job Tarucian!

Day 2 of Connect2Conserve Campaign

Day 2

Campaign was come to the second day and it is last for another day to end up. Nevertheless, all the committee members of campaign are trying out all their best to collect as much phones as they can in order to save sea turtle. Besides, one thing to catch up my mind in this morning is I realized a lot TARC students came to visit our event. Some of them were come by themselves but some were come in small groups. In addition, several fun and creative games are prepared to make the campaign more attractive. With this, fish the waste is a famous game between other than that. Participate students are enjoying the game and paying attention while our committee member is explaining.

Participants are enjoying the first station game which is fish and waste. They act like back to childhood while involve in the game.

Other than that, we would like to take this opportunity to share a good new with everyone which is our pledge form already collected 4309 signature from pre-event until today. So excited to hear that and really appreciate for those is a past to help us to achieve this goal to amend Malaysia law prohibit to consume and selling turtle eggs. In such situation, I would like to say a DEEP THANK YOU to everyoneJ
