Terracycle Foundation Cleanup 

During Wells Without Walls in the last semester of grade 11, I attended a canal clean up in Lad Prao. This activity and service was very tiring yet rewarding at the same time as we get to see the different types trash that people have littered and the satisfaction of clearing up the respective area. Throughout the process, my partner and I helped each other since the trash that we collected can be heavy. Besides, there were interactive activities that we did such as sorting out the plastics in 7 different plastic categories and sorting the trash into the estimated duration it will degrade. Looking at the trash that all of us collected made me feel disappointed and disgusted at how people can be irresponsible of the way of disposing trash and the pungent smell from it. From this experience, it made me reflect about the ways of disposal that I have been doing which can have an impact on the ocean pollution as well as a perception of what I can do to improve the environment.

LOL X Serwis field trip

During Wells Without Walls in the last semester of grade 11, I also attended another cleanup where we collected trash by paddle boarding! They did a demonstration on how to paddle board, the safety measures and what to collect. I was anxious because it was my first time paddle boarding and I was afraid that I might fall into the water despite wearing a life vest. I had to adapt to water currents and be aware of my surroundings as I might bump into other students or teachers. There were a lot of plastic bottles, styrofoams and glass bottles floating. Surprisingly, one of the interesting things I found was a dead fish floating while I was collecting plastic bottles. My friends and I were shocked considering that we did not expect a dead fish floating and it made me think about what could contribute to it. Afterwards, we weigh our bags individually and calculate how much we collected as a group. It felt like an accomplishment when I see the amount of trash I was able to collect at the end of the day. Nevertheless, this experience leaves an impact on individual's habits and responsibility on how they dispose their trash and the impacts that it could leave on the environment.

Donating to pankansociety 

Whenever I tidy up my room, I often sort out items that I no longer use anymore so that I can set aside for future donations or share them to my friends. One day, a message sent from my condominium in the Line group chat caught my attention about donating items to a social enterprise, PankanSociety by Yuvabadhana Foundation. With that, I filled up two boxes of unwanted items such as clothes, key chains and accessories and place it near the Juristic Office near the condominium lobby. The donations collected will contribute to educational funds for underprivileged children. This opportunity filled me with eagerness and a sense of purpose, knowing that even small actions can make a positive impact on other people's lives.
