Housing for Habitat – Building the Garden Bed Fence

Compost after Compost – Housing and Habitat
I truly believe Housing and Habitat is the most active service group ever. Recently, we have really been focused on improving our compost systems around school, especially in the primary area.

Food and Fun Fair Performance
I have to say, this was quite unexpected. A few Tuesdays ago, I was walking down the corridors of school, and just before lunch ended and everyone was getting ready to go to class, Mr. Marlon stopped me in my tracks. He asked me with a smile: “Are you ready for Saturday?”. My expression fades, […]

October 27th Service Reflection
This Thursday, our service group Housing and Habitat continued our build of the bamboo compost bin. It was quite challenging because we had to remeasure out bamboo sticks and try certain measurement again because we all thought that it was too long/short. Although we spent quite some time on figuring out the exact plan, finally […]
