As part of this year’s mala festival in late September, the Samui Mala will be holding a Green Kids Day on September 26 which will focus on environmental education and activities and using fun as a way of teaching about sustainability and change.


Blue Water school has kindly offered to host the children’s day on their campus, but the actual day will be organized by Mala volunteers.
Activities will also include kids from other schools on the island.
The day’s activities will be held from around 10.30am – 3.30pm
Activities will include things like:
Seed planting
Tae Kwando
Capaoera
Manora demonstration with class
Paper mache
Bag painting
Recycled art work – to produce an installation
Karate
Yoga
Wall painting
Plastic Fantastic (drums)
Film show
Treasure hunt
June’s tree

We need your help. If you are interested in making this a successful and fun day to inspire, teach and share, we would love you to join us!

Jessica (who organized last year’s entertainment programme at the mala) and Tash have volunteered to organize the day but we need support for them:

Are you interested to help with the overall logistic coordination of the day?
Please join us for a meeting on Friday 10th July at 4pm at June’s café.
Or can you set up a station and supervise an activity?
If you have ideas on what to do, that’s great, or if you want to support someone else’s activity, you are welcome too.

If you can’t make the meeting, but still want to be a volunteer on the day, or support an activity, let me or Jessica know and we can contact you directly.

If you know someone else who would be interested to join the party, please pass this on to them, or have them call one of us
