Melaka High School Holds “Seeds of Change” Exhibition


On May 18, 2010, in conjunction with the “Math & Science Month”, the Melaka High School held the “Seeds of Change: Earth Charter and Human Potential” exhibition to deepen students’ understanding of the intricate relationship between human being and the environment they live in, as well as the importance of environmental protection. As such, SGM Melaka provided exhibition materials to support the event. About 1200 teachers and students viewed the exhibition. The exhibition materials were presented in both Malay and English. A total of 32 exhibition guides, comprising of students in Form 2 and Form 6 of that school, were on hand to narrate the exhibition. These guides were trained by SGM Melaka members. After watching the exhibition, students entered a media room to watch a SGI-produced documentary entitled “A Quiet Revolution,” which focussed on stories of individuals who became catalyst of change in their respective communities. Their bold actions brought have brought about positive changes in their communities and a cleaner, more sustainable environment. Though the exhibition was only held for a day, it left a deep impression in the hearts of its viewers, and more importantly, it has planted the seeds of love for the environment.
