Soon To Be River Rangers

There are about 30 of us attending the River Ranger Training of Trainers in Beringgis Beach Resort, Papar.

This training is part of the activities under the One State One River Programme in Malaysia. We will be trained in the next few days so we are also able to train students in river protection. (o:

The objectives of the River Ranger TOT are:
a. To increase students' awareness and knowledge in managing resources

b. To provide living skills to students for use in local environmental management

c. To coach students on ways to evaluate and audit river basins

d. To develop a data base on local rivers by the schools

e. To motivate students to initiate water/river conservation projects in their school and community

Loads of theories today but tomorrow is a different story! *grin* We are going to one of the rivers in Papar to do investigative works.. Yay!!

(will post some photos later when time permits ok! Toodles...!)
