Minor Community Service Project (Free Tree Society)

Hello Free Tree Society!

On the 26th September 2020, Saturday, nine of our members and Mr. Naresh A/L Manickavasagam, our Faculty Advisor, from the LEO Club of Wesley Methodist School visited the Free Tree Society (Bangsar Nursery) to carry out our Minor Community Service Project from 9.00 a.m. to 12.00 p.m. The event was led by the Organizing Chairperson, LEO Santtosh Sivaram. The objective of this Minor Community Service Project was to fulfill one of the five global causes of the LEO Club, which is to sustainably protect the environment by obtaining the knowledge and skills required to ensure the well-being of plants. This project was also aimed to further instill a sense of responsibility and awareness towards the environment amongst the LEO members. 

The members and Mr. Naresh set off to the Free Tree Society (Bangsar Nursery) from Wesley Methodist School Kuala Lumpur (International) at 8.30 a.m. and arrived at the designated destination at 9.00 a.m. Upon their arrival, the members registered themselves by recording their temperature to ensure that the Standard Operating Procedures were followed. The members were then given a brief introduction about the aims and objectives of the Free Tree Society, followed by a short tour around the Bangsar Nursery. They were then granted the opportunity to improve their knowledge regarding the current condition of our Mother Nature through the Biodiversity and Environmental Solutions Talk given by a representative from the Free Tree Society. 


Shortly after the talk, at 10.00 a.m. the members 
Time to work!
experienced a planting workshop, where we were split into two groups. Four members were in charge of preparing the perfect soil for the plants, which consists of mixing organic soil, compost and perlite all together. The other five members were in charge of propagating and transplanting the young plants into poly bags with soil that were prepared by the other four members. The hard work and effort put in by everyone resulted in numerous young plants being transplanted. At 11.30 a.m. the members started cleaning up the area and the equipment used. After that, they watered the plants in the Bangsar Nursery with the guidance of a representative from the Free Tree Society. 

Although the members had a great time volunteering at the Free Tree Society (Bangsar Nursery), all good things had to come to an end. The members and Mr. Naresh gathered for a group picture to end our club's first Minor Community Service Project of the fiscal year 2020/2021.
