Schools tour Victoria mangrove site
A section of the students as they toured the Mangrove sites
The Environmental Community Health Organization (ECHO) on Saturday last conducted a school tour to the Victoria Mangrove Site, East Coast Demerara.
There were approximately 70 students from schools throughout Regions Three and Four. They learnt of the importance of environmental health and about the effects of not being environmentally conscious and friendly.
The group first stopped at the Mangrove Centre at Cove and John where the representatives for the Centre had discussions on mangroves. They were also able to gather information that can be used for future reference and even school assignments and homework.
ECHO’s Public Relations Officer, Oneeka Brown, said that the students were encouraged to start by taking leadership on environmental issues in their communities, in an effort to develop a greener, healthier world.
They were further encouraged to be a part of ECHO Clubs in their respective schools.
The students were accompanied to the site by teachers from their respective schools, as well as coaches and volunteers of ECHO.
