Dear Residents,
This morning, we joined a group of young children in their own initiated project to clean up our neighborhood. Some 15 people came and Navin, the group leader wasted no time in delegating the jobs to various people.
And here are some pictures taken this morning:
In life, we tend to take a lot of things for granted. We even accept the fact that having rubbish strewn around us seems 'okay'!
Well, it has taken some youth (kids) now to tell us (adults) it is not okay and that they intend to do something about it! And they are doing it...! So, what do we, as adults do? We should support their cause and try to help them in their quest as much as we can. We need to show these "youths" that we care as much as them.
And we can start by keeping our house compound including the outside clean. We should collect all the rubbish around our house and dispose of it properly instead of just walking past it and leaving it there for someone else to pick it up. Also, we should learn to use the rubbish bins more as they are there for a purpose. We should remind our children, family members and even friends to do the same.
If you go to the USJ 11/3 padang often enough, you will see how children, teenagers and adults alike throw rubbish everywhere while ample bins are provided! It is not uncommon to see plastic bottles, paper, plastic containers and empty cigarette boxes everywhere!
So, let us all chip in and make our neighborhood clean and a nice place to live in. Let us all support the children who have shown us the way, the way that most of us have 'forgotten'!
See you all next Sunday @ 9am at the padang.
