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 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

A Good Starting Point For Our 1st Day Campaign..

Today was our ‘big’ day, the actual campaign day. I feel very nervous but also look forward to our campaign. Luckily, for the first day campaign overall was good and considered going smooth. It shows a good participation of the students and also the college staff in this campaign.

We totally have 7 informative booths which were ‘When Connection Happens, “SEE” Turtle, Mini cinema, Almost After Earth, WWF-Pledge to save sea turtle, 3D Phone Recycling Factory, Transphoner and the Photo Booth’. These booths were well educating the public and let them more understand about the phone process and also the living ways of turtle. You can learn about the phone knowledge such as the introduction of Nokia’s phone, how the phone  being emerges and how it going to be recycles. You also can get closer and find out more about the turtle in Malaysia such as the 4 species turtle that living in our country and also learnt the ways to protect the turtle that almost been extinction.
