SCG inspires kids to become “little green citizens”

Under the theme of “Little Green Citizen”, the International Children’s Day celebration this year has been designed to become an interesting journey for kids to learn about important aspects of environment and how to preserve environment for the future. The journey includes four stations: water, energy, nature and waste, each of which consists of various gaming activities to deliver environmental lessons for kids.

Piyapong Jriyasetapong, general director of TPC Vina, an subsidairy of SCG said that “Environment has become a rising concern for not only Vietnam, but also the world. Everywhere, we could see the profound impacts of environmental pollutions and climate change on people’s lives. This calls our immediate attention and action toward a sustainable future.”

“Hence, SCG would like to take this opportunity of International Children’s Day to inspire these little kids to become little green citizens through an exciting and educational journey. We believe by building environmental mindsets amongst these children, we could achieve a greater goal for a greener community in the future,” he added.

Established in Vietnam since 1992, SCG has contributed in various community projects towards human development and children care. In 2012, SCG co-operated with te Tan Binh Youth Union and Khan Quang Do newspaper to build a public playground called “Sharing The Dream” for kids from five to 12 at Hoang Van Thu Park, using high quality materials from SCG Chemicals.

Since then, every year, SCG has brought up annual celebration on the occasion of International Children’s Day right at this venue for kids and families of the city. This activity follows the big celebration of SCG for hundreds of children in the southern province of Ba Ria Vung Tau last week, also under the environmental theme of “Our Green Voice”.
