A visit from Korea

The 26th of April was certainly an eventful day for our school. After all, how often do Korean school principals pay a visit to our school? With the presence of such esteemed guests at our school, there was little wonder as to why every teacher and student went all out to show these guests a great time at our school, to the extent where Monday morning found us all learning basic Korean greetings from Puan Ngau during the weekly assembly. In case anyone is curious,the aforementioned greetings included 'annyeong haseyo', which meant 'hello', and 'kamsahamnida', which meant 'thank you'. Armed with our superior linguistic skills, we, the Eco Rangers of Sri Aman, were more than prepared to undertake our task in handling the exhibition booths we set up to showcase all our green projects.

Our Korean guests' visit began with an opening ceremony, which included a stellar performance by our school orchestra, who successfully put on a good show, as per usual. They were then taken on a tour around our school by our school administrators, during which they managed to catch a glimpse of the way our classes and lessons are conducted. They also got to see for themselves all of the green projects our school has undertaken, which included the solar panel project, rainwater harvesting project, bio-enzyme project, composting project, as well as our numerous gardening initiatives. 

Booths were set up to detail the way we carry out our green projects. Our Korean guests were shown the way our Sri Aman Composter worked, which intrigued them to no end. They were also introduced to the numerous herbs available at our herbs garden, and were treated to drinks made out of our herbs. One would expect these drinks to taste awful, akin to the taste of traditional Chinese medicine, as they are, after all, herbs, but that was far from the case. Our drinks don't taste half-bad, even if we do say so ourselves. Last but not least, we introduced our Bio-Enzyme project to them, and even allowed them to get a whiff of our pleasantly-scented Bio-Enzyme. 

We exchanged farewells with our guests soon after, marking the end of yet another wonderful, eventful day for us.
