Social Responsibility (3) - Sinar Harian


I attended the official opening of the second pondok made of recyclable beverage cartons at Sekolah Kebangsaan Sri Kelana last Sunday. The installation is made possible with the full support of Sinar Harian, a publishing house for magazines and a daily focusing on community news. I was made to understand from Mr Ong Kein Eik, the role teacher for spearheading and motivating the growth of Smart Ranger, a grouping of primary school students for environmental programs at the school that without strong support from Sinar Harian, the success is possible but not complete.

Sinar Harian has involving with the Smart Ranger starting from day one and many contributions have been put forth to support the activities. A significant contribution is the donation of magazines for sale. Magazines are given for generating activities fund. Apart from that, the activities and achievement of Smart Ranger are highlighted from time to time. This has enhanced the profile of the program and make SRK Sri Kelana a role model.

The Day marks another milestone with the announcement of the principal that SRK Sri Kelana is aspired to become the sustainable school by year 2010. Certainly MBPJ Local Agenda 21 will be there to share and later to celebrate.
