Friends,

 

 

It has been three years since the birth of Roots & Shoots at our school. We have conquered the originally rock-filled soil next to the football patch, planted the seeds, fostered them, and spread them in the new rooftop garden.

 

I believe that this process has been a metaphorical one as well. Together as a community, we have voted for our favourite fruits and vegetables to be planted in ‘the Battle of Plants’, and tasted the organic rosemary, mints, basil, tomatoes, and eggplants. We have signed a thousand petitions to say ‘NO!’ to shark fin soup. We have adopted a lovely chimpanzee named ANZAC in Congo. We have signed anti-fracking, hydraulic fracturing campaigns for our partner school in New Jersey, the US. We have been featured in media publications in three languages: Chinese, English, and Finnish…

 

The list could, and will, go on, and on. Elections will be held for a committee for new, dedicated student officers in the coming months. We welcome you to join us, and thank you for your support, as always. To quote from Dr. Jane Goodall, our global founder, ‘Every individual makes a difference.’

 

The journey that I embarked as a high school freshman has been unforgettable. I will miss you all. It is my hope that the seeds of awareness will further flourish, and spread across our high school campus and beyond!
