These contests are a good way to encourage the children (the kids) to go green - plant and save the environment.
ReplyDeleteThe tree planting activity was a great idea for your school as it is a step for children to love nature :)
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see that the proceeds won from the cooking contest goes to the cause of the environment as in the long run, this would make the place better.
ReplyDeleteWonderful blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers?
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to start my own site soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
Would you recommend starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option?
There are so many options out there that I'm totally confused ..
Any ideas? Thanks a lot!|

I drop a leave a response whenever I like a article
ReplyDeleteon a website or if I have something to add to the discussion.
It is a result of the sincerness communicated in the post
I read. And on this article "Advocating Government Greening Program".
I was actually excited enough to leave a comment ;-) I actually do have a couple of questions
for you if you don't mind. Could it be just me
or does it give the impression like a few of these comments appear like
coming from brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are writing
on additional sites, I would like to keep
up with anything new you have to post. Could you make a list
all of your shared sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin
profile?|
