Project Orion III: 06/19/11

Introduction

Project Orion III - Rovering with Turtles is the 5th Scouts of the World Award (SWA) Voluntary Service Project of the SWA Singapore Base.

The 3rd instalment of this project will be led by 9 Singapore Rovers. They will return to Setiu, a main district in Terengganu, Malaysia where previous instalments of Project Orion were featured.

The primary aim of this project would be the conservation of sea turtles. In addition, the team of 9 will also be involved in Mangrove Replanting, Repair Work for the Village and the World Wildlife Fund for Nature - Malaysia (WWF-Malaysia) who has an Information Centre at Seitu, as well as educating the youths about Conversation efforts and the English Language from the 16th to 30th June 2011. The team will also take charge of the construction and installations of signboards at hatchery and mangrove reforestation sites.

Day 4: Painting Day

Hello everyone! Today is PAINTING DAY! Painting works were concurrently carried out at house no. 1 and 2, and the Penarik Inn hatchery.

Before the house was painted

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the paint we have ordered arrived much later than expected. Although it dampened some of our moods, today has been a rather productive day for all of us! House no. 2 has been painted and we’ll be touching up tomorrow, hatchery signboards have all been nicely decorated and painted.

Men in work

Interesting things happened *ehem* but we shall not go into details. =D

And as usual, children from Kg. Mangkok came over for their nightly English lessons. Violet taught them how to make face masks today. The children are still as playful, ~~hyperactive~~ ecstatic and lovable. =)

Animal masks!
