Sprouts 8

Participants arrive gradually starting at 8.40 p.m. and most of them linger around the booth to pick up more information and knowledge. Sharp at 9.00 p.m. , "You Can Make a Change" officially starts its 1st LDK, namely CHANGE THE PERCEPTION. Pictures of all sorts of happenings or living things are displayed part by part, and participants are required to guess what the picture is all about, before it is completely shown to everyone. Sounds simple? I guess not because we had blurred and only shown them a small portion of the whole picture!!! Each correct guess, will lead to a talk by participants on the picture that had been shown. Through the pictures that was displayed, we hope that we could change your perception on mother Earth that, the Earth won't die and we can do whatever we can to this beautiful land. Remember, we have only 1 Earth and if we continue to litter and destroy the nature, 2012 might came true in the future.


At 9.30 p.m., LDK 2 takes over. It is now the time for CHANGE THE BAGS. The rules is simple, make the most beautiful bag of all time with everything that we supplied. So, how to make it? We, Sprouts 8, supplied each team with clothes, threads and decoration. So, it's needle time for everyone. Why we do this? We hope that we could promote the use of reusable bag, and phase out plastics that contaminate our planet Earth.

Light off for The Earth

It is now, 10.19 and everyone is prepared for the countdown for 3rd LDK, CHANGE THE HABITS.(also known as Lights Off For The Earth).  This is the simplest and also hardest LDK of all. Why and How? This is the question that always come into the mind of many. It's simple because all participants were only asked to relax and enjoy the beautiful sound of nature. The hard part is, they were required to write down everything that they could hear after a journey to relaxation in DARK!
I wonder how many of you could remember something that is not significant but beautiful after only hearing it once. After all, the objective of this LDK is to tell everyone that we can actually switch off alot of lights in our daily life. Change the habit of having all the lights on 24 hours a day.

This was followed with Video Presentation, Lucky draw and Prize Giving, a time when all participants of You Can Make A Change eagerly awaits. There was an "earthquake" in the hall as everyone wants the beautiful hamper that we have prepared specially for them.

Do, enjoy these videos :)

Now

"You Can Make A Change" had officially came to an end and we would like to convey a million thanks everyone for coming to the event. Hope that everyone of us had had a better understanding towards our environment, and let's take a good care of our beloved mother Earth starting from today onwards. Remember this, Think of Environment, Think of Sprouts 8
