Turtle Week in Hunga Pre-School
During August this year Karyn and Sita who run the pre-school in Hunga will be having an environment week. This year, working alongside VEPA we are focusing on turtles. Hunga lagoon has a small population of resident turtles, and our aim of the week is to teach the kids about the turtles, their homes and lives in the oceans.
The week will include education packs, colouring competitions, turtle monitoring with students being given the Turtle warden status. Each kid will receive a certificate and card to take home and to hang in the school. Prizes will be awarded for colouring and participation in the monitoring.
The school is also painting an ocean themed Muriel on the school to promote a healthy ocean.
Many thanks to Sita and Karyn for their contributions and becoming true friends of VEPA and the environment. More to come as the project progresses.
