Organic Day 2011

The Organic Day 2011 was held on the 26th of March, in a field situated in SS2. The event began at 8.30 am, and ended at 2 pm, though the many volunteers and booth operators of that event were at the venue bright and early to prepare for the busy day that awaited them. Our members arrived at the venue before the event began in order to help out as volunteers, and were assigned various tasks such as setting up booths and operating game stalls.

There were many booths selling organic foodstuffs at the event, which included organically-grown fruits and vegetables, pastries made out of organic items which were at the same time, sugar free and gluten free, organic health products, organic noodles, organic seaweed... you name it, they have it! Also available at the event was a lucky draw booth, which contained attractive prizes sponsored by various parties, as well as a grand prize worth around RM200. People who wished to take part in the lucky draw were required to pay RM2 per lucky draw ticket. There were also two game booths for the younger crowd, which included a game where each participant was given a card with the names of three vegetables written on it, and was required to connect the names of the vegetables with their pictures. Another game required each participant to take a look at a comic strip, and come up with a story based on the given comic strips. Attractive prizes were awarded to the winners of both games.

Various talks about interesting topics such as weight loss, and organic cooking, was held as well, which attracted large crowds of attentive audiences.

Our Eco Music Band performed twice for the event, and one of our performances, which featured 'Bumi', was recorded by RTM, which was flattering, to say the least. We were all thrilled at the prospect of our band obtaining more media coverage. Despite the fact that the event tired each and every member out, we all had a ball. Most of our members left the event at around 1.30PM to go home and rest themselves in anticipation of yet another performance later on, at the Earth Hour Youth Fest held at Sunway Giza.
