Introduction to Project Orion II

Project Orion II - Rovering with Turtles
is the 4th Scouts of the World Award (SWA) Voluntary Service Project of the SWA Singapore Base.

The 2nd installment of this project will be led by 9 youths from Singapore and they will return to Setiu, Terengganu, where the pioneer team had left their legacy a year ago.

The primary aim of the team would be the conservation of sea turtles, but that would not be their only contribution during the project duration of 26th June to 10th July. The 9 passionate youths will also be involved in mangrove replanting, repair work for the villagers and WWF info centre and English and conservation awareness education for the children.

What are your aims for Project Orion II?

I aim to help who/whichever is in need of my help, with the best of my capabilities.


What is your purpose for taking up Project Orion II?

Knowing that Project Orion is a whole continuous line of projects on saving the turtles, I decided that I should also do my part in helping to save them.


What do you think about the environment currently?

I feel that the environment is deteriorating slowly from the doings of us humans. Be it little or huge, it is more of a long term effect which the environment faces. Everyone should do their part, in saving the environment which we live in.


What do you think should be done to minimize the damage our environment is facing?

I feel that everyone, knowingly or unknowingly are contributing to the pollution of the environment, be it either of the five different types of pollution, and that we should reflect on our own doings and see how we, ourselves can contribute to the minimizing of the damage to the environment.
