In a time when people are too busy to remember the little things in life, we forget that our Earth is indeed sick and we need to spread the awareness. Taking the initiative, Fayette House set up an Earth Day Camp to get the students of Segi College Subang Jaya to feel closer to nature. It was a thrilling event in which the students spent two days and one night in the Chilling Waterfalls in Kuala Kubu Bharu. It was an exciting journey where the students learnt survival skills while having fun in the heavily forested area. The trip started off with a half an hour trek to the waterfall in which we struggled past six streams and many other little obstacles like deep muddy puddles and spiked plants. When we arrived at the waterfall, we played many water games to show how enjoyable the water can be besides in a drink. After spending a productive two hours around the waterfall, the students headed back through the same route and managed to reach the camping site before the sun set. After everybody settled down, food was found in the form of a barbecue and in the spirit of Earth Day, the students had to bring their own metal utensils and plates. The night ended on a positive note with everybody singing around a make-shift campfire made out of candles and a whole lot of spirit. The next day started with a simple breakfast and time was given to the students to enjoy the wonder of their surroundings. For their final act, Fayette House gave every camper two seeds as a symbol that represents the hope of the future: the growth of respect and appreciation towards our Earth begins with each of our individual efforts no matter how large or diminutive.
