20th November 2014 - Service
Yesterday was my first day
of Service at the Overseas School Of Colombo. I was given a brief introduction
by the Service Leaders and then we headed off in groups to collect recyclable
paper from all the classes.
We collected 36kilograms of
paper in total. As it was my first day I got the chance to take the paper to
the Recycling centre. We unloaded the boxes of paper and then weighed
them.
The total amount we were
paid was 220 Rupees for 36 kgs of paper and 4 cardboard.
I undertook new challenges
and learnt how to work collaboratively with a group of people. I learnt the
importance of recycling paper and how it helps to improve and save the
environment.
I hope to take recycling to
a higher level by helping with not just the recycling of paper but also
recycling of other items such clothes, bottles and furniture.
With my passion for art and
textiles, I could help in using art as a means to recycle. I will talk to my
Service group about my idea , and hope to achieve this goal in the
future. I will put forward a plan and initiate this activity.
