Subject: KCC
hello, spoke with the kcc guys. these are some things we discussed that students can do there.
1. set up a herbal garden
2. wild orchids rescue - apparently a lot of little children while on the way to school, pluck these wild orchids. we put up fence and signs around the wild orchid plants
3. tree planting
4. education - teach children about conservation, how to care for environment, main herbal garden etc.
that's about it in the discussion for now.
can we set dates tentatively as 9-25rd nov ( 16days exactly). we can plan itinerary for 14days, 2 days for buffer in case transport strike/flight delay etc.
Calvin, can you also check with your batch regarding the dates? if ok, then i'll include trip dates in parents letter. also, can you set a date where parents can come to school and dialogue with us regarding the trip?
