06 Aug Empowering the Next Generation: E-Waste Talk at SJKT Mak Mandin
02 AUGUST 2023, PENANG – Education is not just about textbooks and exams; it’s also about instilling values and awareness in young minds. Recently, the students of SJKT Mak Mandin had the incredible opportunity to learn about a pressing global issue, electronic waste (e-waste). The informative talk was organised by MM Century, a company committed to environmental sustainability, with Ms. Sumathi, an alumnus of the school, leading the session. The event aimed to educate the students about the impact of e-waste and foster a sense of responsibility towards the environment.
Ms. Sumathi, accompanied by her team from MM Century, began the talk by explaining the concept of e-waste. To their delight, the students already had a basic understanding of what e-waste comprises and how it affects our environment. It was heartening to witness the young minds show genuine interest and concern for such a critical issue.
The talk wasn’t just a one-sided lecture; it encouraged active participation from the students. Throughout the session, a dynamic Q&A took place, allowing the students to share their thoughts and ask questions. Some confident representatives even stepped up to explain the presentation slides, showcasing their grasp of the subject matter. The enthusiasm displayed by the students was truly commendable and a testament to their potential as future change-makers.
To acknowledge the active participation and engagement of the students, MM Century’s Ms. Moniisha distributed gift hampers to the winners of various interactive sessions. The excitement among the students was palpable, and it further reinforced the significance of addressing e-waste and environmental issues at an early age.
As the talk concluded, Mr. Jayasilen, another member of the MM Century team, initiated a stimulating Q&A session. Many students took part, displaying their curiosity and eagerness to learn more. This interaction not only broadened their understanding of e-waste but also sparked their desire to take concrete actions for a greener and cleaner planet.
Following the talk, the students had the opportunity to examine various e-waste items displayed by MM Century. Ms. Moniisha and Ms. Shryee assisted the students, providing more information and addressing their inquiries. This hands-on experience allowed the students to connect theoretical knowledge with practical applications, enhancing their understanding of the subject matter.
The E-Waste Talk at SJKT Mak Mandin, led by Ms. Sumathi and her team from MM Century, left a lasting impact on the students. It not only deepened their awareness of e-waste but also instilled a sense of responsibility towards environmental preservation. The session exemplified the power of education in shaping the minds of the young generation, inspiring them to become proactive champions of sustainability. As these students grow and step into the world, they carry with them the knowledge and determination to make a positive difference for the environment and the planet as a whole.
At MM Century, we are proud of our committed efforts in organizing this informative talk. We eagerly look forward to introducing more initiatives that empower our upcoming leaders to contribute towards a healthier and more sustainable world.
