NST Youth Programme Participants Visit SS14NW Composting Site



YUCK! EWWWWW! NO WAY!....these were some of the expressions that came from a batch of kids from the NST holiday programme when they came visiting at our composting site yesterday morning.
Their mission - to visit the composting site, gather as much information as possible, interview the participants of our composting project....and to get their hands dirty participating in the project itself.
And that's exactly what they did, although initially, they hesitated to go near the composting bins. The hesitation was more when they were asked to help sort out vegetables and fruits which was supplied by Mydin before depositing into the bins.
Many hesitated but all it took was a brave young boy to get everyone started. By then, many hands reached into the bag for "green goodies" for our bins.
The kids were then allowed to sprinkle grounded coffee beans from Starbucks into the pile before they cleaned up for the rest of their visit.

The kids then interviewed our kids who are participants of the composting project. In a "mock" press conference, our kids were asked questions and questions and questions...

All in all..everyone enjoyed themselves...I believe many of our visitors will bring home with them an experience they will not forget for a long time....and maybe they might even start their mini composting project?
