SFCCA Youth Community Service: “Unsung Heroes of Tomorrow” Attracts 150 Participants for “Plogging” Event
Organised by the Singapore Federation of Chinese Clan Associations (SFCCA) Youth Committee, co-organised by the Bukit Panjang Hokkien Konghuay and the Bukit Panjang Khek Community Guild, the “Unsung Heroes of Tomorrow” Youth Community Service event, “plogging”, was held on 24th March 2019, Sunday, attracting 150 participants.
150 ploggers took off from Bukit Panjang Hokkien Konghuay
The participants started at the Bukit Panjang Hokkien Konghuay, running along the 5km Bukit Timah railway, picking up garbage while jogging, giving back to society by protecting the environment. Many participants brought their children to the event, taking the opportunity to temporarily leave their electronic gadgets, getting closer to nature while exercising. Most importantly, the event also helped to promote parent-child relationships, hitting many birds with one stone.
Everyone has a part to play in protecting the environment. A group of participants practised what they preached by picking up garbage while jogging, maintaining the cleanliness of the city
