I Planted A Tree

     On 29 of November (Friday), The Leo club of SMK Assunta went to Bagan Lalang Beach, Sepang to carry out mangrove seeds planting project. Around 15 of Leos participated in this project. This project was held after the ‘Beach Clean Up’ project. After taking a rest, we were taught on how to plant the mangrove seeds.

     One of the instructors, Miss Laila was taught us about the mangrove trees before planting them and we learnt a lot from her. After that, Miss Laila asked each of us to pluck a mangrove seed from the plant to plant it ourselves later on. Miss Puspa and Miss Sashi, other two instructors taught us the procedure of planting the mangrove seeds. All of us paid full attention while they were teaching and all of us gave a try after that. It was quite an easy task so we managed to plant the seeds we plucked very fast.
   
     After all of us have planted the seeds we plucked, we then helped the instructors to plant more mangrove seeds. Even though we were under the hot sun while planting the mangrove trees, we did not give up. At last, we managed to plant around 100 mangrove seeds. We were so glad looking at the plants we have planted!
     We hope to visit there again in three years’ time to look at the growth of the mangrove seeds we’ve planted. Before we left, we took a group photo with mangrove trees as memories.
