World Environmental Day

On world environmental day, select students and student leaders were selected to attend the conference in the Dzongkhag administration.

Fortunately the entire team got to attend and one of our members, Tashi, got an opportunity to address the issue with climate change and our "collective negligence". 

The conference was an amazing way to start off a domino reaction to get everyone started on advocacy and  Greta Thunberg stuff. The day was also important to address the issues caused by the HOT temperatures. 

The team was busy taking notes for what they could take from the meeting and apply in this competition, the most notable being the "Zero Waste App" which apparently pays you money for snitching on offenders who violate Bhutan's environmental laws, basically reporting a person committing offenses has a huge fine amount ranging from Nu.250 to Nu.30,000, which is free pocket money by now

Also they had four air conditioners on and they served momos, tea, water but oh well.

Zero Waste BY 2030

After several tries, Ngawang is the CHOSEN one for our voice recording. She was reluctant and hesitant at first however sir Mani Wangdi's words of encouragement and Shreya bargaining her with kurkure{snack} did the trick. Reattempts and corrections of pronunciations, rate of speech and audibility were made again and again.  Ngawang tried again and again unless she was satisfied with the clip. We were the first ...

First day of Video Documenting

On a Saturday, we planned to meet up at 11 am. Unfortunately, the school's plans for the Dzongkha nursery rhyme competition were disrupted as the contestants were granted permission by the principal to work on their video documentaries. Originally, Sir Mani Wangdi had suggested a meeting time of 9 am, coinciding with the school nursery rhyme competition. However, we were all too tired to wake up that early, so we ended up gathering at 12 noon instead. We started discussing and planning on our next step, whom to interview in the town? where to do it? how should we do it? Never mind the serious thinking, we just got ice cream before starting everything to cool down our minds(ice cream image). After the delicious milk ice cream and aggressive biting, we headed down to the town to first of all, print our script as we needed to look as professional and ethical as possible. The printing was kinda hectic as there were some issues with the business owner but we managed to pay up and starte...
