Country Fair 2012

Henry promoting others to recycle

Our stall
Our Country Fair Stall ran pretty sweetly and we made a profit of $350. Our stall had three stands, game, food and awareness booth. Cookies, cupcakes, jelly and many other "sweet" products were sold on the day. The executive body came up with a green theme to make this stall more appealing and eye capturing. The game section was a huge attraction. We had a ping pong game and slime game and everyone really liked the prizes. At the awareness booth, students handed out pamphlets, and things such as bookmarks and tattoos, that helped raise awareness of the environment. There were pamphlets about recycling and environment concerns. The Executive body would like to thank students who helped out and volunteered and also, those who came by and promoted our stall. It was a great success!

Teaching primary school students about sustaining the environment
Preparing for highropes
Packed and ready to leave
On the 6th to the 10th of August, Amy, David, Jason and I went on the Yen Eco-Leadership Camp to Wooglemia. There were around 40 students including us, from different schools near the Campbelltown region. It was a great experience that allowed us to develop leadership skills. We are now Yen Ambassadors wishing to share our knowledge about the environment to everyone. Together, let's save the environment and TAKE ACTION!
