Planting the Seeds of Sustainability By Emem Mojima at Sumscript Schools

 

On the 23rd of June, I successfully conducted a mini training at Sumscript Schools Uyo, as part of my United People Global Sustainability Leadership Class of 2025 requirements.

The session, which had 25 enthusiastic pupils including teachers in attendance, focused on introducing them to United People Global, its four core pillars, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with special attention on SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation.

I explained the dangers of dirty water, including how dumping waste into rivers can pollute the environment and kill aquatic life. The children were lively, curious, and deeply engaged.

One of the highlights of the day was the presentation of the book "Musings from Yesteryears" by Dr. Udeme Nnanna  to the school’s library.

During our breakout session, the pupils illustrated their vision of a clean world and answered multiple-choice questions related to water and hygiene. Watching them express their thoughts so vividly was a beautiful sight.

I must commend Mrs. Nime Ernest for her exceptional work in grooming these young minds.

I taught them a simple but powerful message: "Clean water begins with us." 

The training ended on a high note with a heartwarming performance of “We Are the World” by Michael Jackson.

I’m especially grateful to God, and my amazing team-  Jerry Ebong for the prompt delivery of the graphics, Abigail Ufot , Mercy Peter, Promise Akpan , and Udoh Joy  — for their huge support in making this dream a reality.

It was more than just a training - it was an inspiring encounter filled with learning, laughter, and hope for a more sustainable future.
