GGP Collective Care

To end the year on a healthy note, the Green Girls Platform team took a trip to Cape Maclear in Mangochi with support from @mamacashfund for “Collective Care”. A healthy staff = a successful organization. The retreat helped the team to get to know each other better by understanding each others weak and strong spots. It also helped the team to reflect on how the year went as far as what our successes were and what we need to do, to do better. With that being said, Green Girls Platform is ready for 2023 and ready to make a bigger impact!

The collaborative effort between the E-STEM project and Lessons in Conservation brought together a diverse group of enthusiastic kids, eager to learn and engage with the world of environmental science. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement as the young minds embarked on a journey of discovery and exploration. Throughout the day, educational activities and interactive sessions were carefully curated to provide the children with a comprehensive understanding of how E-STEM disciplines play a pivotal role in environmental protection. Practical demonstrations, engaging discussions, and hands-on experiments allowed the kids to grasp the significance of incorporating E-STEM principles into their daily lives. Lessons in Conservation, as a key partner, shared valuable insights into the interconnectedness of environmental conservation and STEM fields. The collaborative effort aimed not only to educate but also to inspire the next generation to become stewards of the environment, equipped with the knowledge and skills to make a positive impact.

 

The success of the event was evident in the bright eyes and enthusiastic participation of the children, who left with a newfound appreciation for E-STEM and its vital role in preserving our natural world. By empowering these young minds with knowledge and fostering a sense of responsibility, the E-STEM project and Lessons in Conservation are sowing the seeds for a future generation that is environmentally conscious and equipped to tackle the challenges of tomorrow. Through their participation, the team not only contributed to the immediate goal of tree restoration but also aligned with the broader vision of creating leisure parks. This endeavor aimed to provide the community with green spaces for relaxation and recreation, fostering a harmonious balance between urban development and environmental preservation. The collective efforts of the team at the Lilongwe City Council's Tree Planting event underscored the importance of community involvement in environmental initiatives. By coming together to restore trees and greenery, the team played a part in shaping a more sustainable and vibrant future for the Area 18 interchange and the surrounding community.
