The YEG from Mayflower sent a team to the sharing session on the 26th January 2008.

Here are some of the reflection from the students who have taken part in the sharing session.

For me, the entire process of working with my YEG teammates on the climate change project had been a fruitful and enjoyable one.
Not only have I been able to gain more information on climate change, I've managed to work hand in hand in a team, producing such excellent work :P
Although we didn't manage to win,I'm very glad to know it was a close fight between us and the winner!

Having participated in various ‘Youth Environmental Guardian’ activities, I found the ‘Central Singapore Youth Environmental Guardian Sharing Session’ the most memorable. In this event, I felt that my team and I had really reached out, to share with the audience through our very own innovative skid, video and slides to help reduce the effects of ‘Climate Change’.

To be honest, I was quite shocked, when the judges announced that we lost the competition, as I thought that the judges was impressed with our presentation as we surpass others in certain aspects but it was those others ‘X-factors’ that contributed to the lost. However, it does not matter that we win as that was definitely not what we wanted to achieve, what we wanted was to go ‘Global’ in spreading the message of going ‘Clean&Green’, which motive us to create awareness to the heartlanders and the Youths. Thus, I’m sure that the winner of the competition will be able to do that too by presenting to the grassroot leaders while we work on other aspects.

I also value quality time when we came together to meet, to discuss and produce a skid and during the process I’m sure that we all had fun and enjoyed it. Although we can't be always be together all the time spreading ‘YEG’ message, we will always have the ‘Youth Environmental Guardian Spirit’ in us, as our enthusiasm to save ‘Mother Earth’ will never die - Coming together is a beginning, Working together is a process and Keeping together is a success.

In conclusion, during my journey being a YEG, I have learned more about our Mother Earth and enjoyed working together. So, if everyone could work together, help each other and do their little part to save ‘Mother Earth’ we will be able to prevent ‘Climate Change’ for which ‘No man is an Island’.

A reflection from another YEG.
The Youth Environmental Guardian sharing session held at Onepeople @ Singapore was a great experience for me as well as my teammates. Although we were rather disappointed that we did not manage to win the competition but winning was not the main motive for this. It is because we believe in saving Mother Nature and we did it to create awareness and allow people (mainly youths) to understand the many consequences if nothing is done. We have great fun during those times when we meet up to work on our project, it’s not about the end product but the process. Getting together, learning more through practice is one of the major reward we have received. Thus, I urge everyone to do your part today.
