On November 24th through 27th, our GECKO team, together with our core group of volunteers and interns, spent the week with over 200 students at Yangshuo Vocational Technical School, bringing environmental awareness education through engaging hands-on activities and presentations which introduced the challenges of our environment and sustainability, presented solutions to the problem of waste and the personal steps we can take to reduce our environmental footprint, and looked ahead to how to work towards a sustainable future.
A note received from a Yangshuo student: "I’m so happy to learn all the environmental knowledge brought by our international friends and to see their endeavor in raising people’s awareness to get together and protect the one and only world that we have. It was just like watching a movie seeing them and I got the inspiration from them that environmental protection is a cause that the every one of us should be involved in."
