On the 13th December 2009, the Verita Fund For Excellence 100 Trees was held at Rumah Pengasih Malaysia located in Bukit Tunku, Kuala Lumpur. As well all already know, 13th December is of course, a school holiday which is why we are suppose to salute Atikah, one of our mighty team members who took the liberty to go to this Verita thingy.
By the way, I totally know what Verita means. It's French for 'truth'. Okay, that's not relevant with this topic at all. Back to the main point.
The aim of this program was to plant at least a hundred trees at the Rumah Pengasih. That is one hundred trees lads and wench. 1 0 0 trees. Which mean to say that it was a lot of trees.
The program started with a very fascinating speech by VERITAS, YAWA and also by Tan Sri Dr. Salleh Md Nor. The pretty and talented Aishah Sinclair, the YAWA ambassador showed guests the correct way to plant those trees. Because as the ambassador of YAWA, she would totally know how to plant trees. So thank god for her. After that, the VIPs plant the trees.
After breakfast, the program began without a glitch. The best part was, they managed to plant around 200 trees. After that, a workshop on Composting and Bio Enzyme was held. The workshop, I am sure, changed lives of many guests that were lucky enough to be there. I mean, Composting AND Bio Enzyme, WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THOSE KIND OF STUFFS?
The program ended right on time for lunch. Of course, lunch was provided. A fact that made Atikah a very happy person that day. :)
The program, according to Atikah, opened her eyes on the importance of preserving the earth. I mean, where else can we live beside earth? Sure, it would be much cooler to live in Mars but we can't do that now, can we? Atikah certainly hopes that more of these kind of events would be held in the future.
