GPS Sumatra (May-June)

Earlier on in May this year, Becky and I spent 16 days with 13 schoolmates from SOTA and 2 teachers in the Sumatran rainforest, learning from and working with the Restoration team there, doing Reforestation work as well as conducting environmental based programmes for primary schools there.
This was part SOTA's Year 5 Global PerspectiveS (GPS) program.

Click on the link below to read more about my thoughts as the 16 days progressed.
It was a very meaningful and musical journey, learning about the forest, the issues with oil palm plantation encroachment, and the most important discovery - learning about ourselves and our connection with our natural environment.

Read about our journey here

Have a very happy new year!
