S P Setia raises awareness on creating a better world

PETALING JAYA (June 15): In conjunction with World Environment Day 2016, property developer S P Setia Bhd had held several activities to raise awareness and educate children on how they can make the world a better place to live in, said the group in a press release.

The event themed “My Better World” held at SJK (T) Ladang Vallambrosa yesterday comprised storytelling, drawings, and question and answer sessions related to environmental issues.

The event will also be held at SJK (C) Aik Hwa in George Town, Penang and SK Felda Bukit Permai in Johor, all of which are S P Setia Foundation Caring School Program’s adopted schools.

“To make it easier for the children to understand big terms such as environment conservation, carbon footprints and balanced ecosystem, we teamed up with art illustrator, Latfy Anwar Latiff, to simplify it into activity kits which make it fun for them to learn,” said S P Setia chairman Tan Sri Dr Wan Mohd Zahid Mohd Noordin.

“[The children] were also given a ‘My Better World’ green activity booklet packed with various activities and an empty page reserved towards the end of the book whereby they can draw and submit their drawings to S P Setia. There will be an exhibition held to display all these drawings next year,” he added, noting that parents can obtain this activity pack at any of S P Setia’s sales galleries or welcome centres in Penang, the Klang Valley and Johor.

Alternatively, the group also encouraged children at large to pick up a copy of the “My Better World” activity booklet, create their version of what encapsulates a better world for them, snap a picture of their creation, and upload their picture onto their Facebook page or Instagram account with the caption #setiawed.
