Inspiring Myanmar Trash Hero Kids!

by Seema on 23/08/2019 No comments

Our volunteer, Aung Win from Trash Hero Ngapali in Myanmar, took the Trash Hero kids book to his class at the Vera Thomson School. He writes: “the books are totally great. The kids were really keen on reading them. Thanks million for the books. As you know, they have already finished reading them. We have asked the students to write about it what they have learnt , why they should keep the ocean clean. They all have done some essays about it.”

And we are very proud to publish some of them here. The children not only learned about the environment, but are learning English via the books. Great job!

Sorting and separating in Tumapel

by Seema on 21/05/2019 No comments

Trash Hero Tumapel in Indonesia visits schools like this one, MI Roudlotul Jannah, to share the Trash Hero story and spread the word about how easy it is to reduce plastic waste.

Here, they also did a cleanup with the children around their village and they report the kids were super enthusiastic both when picking up the trash and then separating it to take to the local waste bank later. It certainly looks like it was a fun day. Great work everyone!

Sanur’s little heroes!

Sanur Independent School in Bali found our kids’ book via the daughter of Julia, one of our local volunteers, who brought it into school.

They read the story aloud in class and were so inspired by the story and pictures, they invited Julia to come along and give a talk about ocean plastics and what they could do to help. She explained about different types of rubbish, the effects of plastic on health and wildlife, ocean gyres, different ways to reduce waste, and how they can be activists and join the Trash Hero movement.

“They loved it and asked loads of questions!” she said.

They then did a cleanup together and all the kids in grade 1- 2 wrote a story about what they can do to help with the rubbish problem.

Thank you Julia and the Sanur Trash Hero Kids! You are awesome!

Trash Hero Kids: The Movie!

by Seema on 26/08/2018 No comments

Trash Hero Kids at Ban Don Takian School in Chumphon, Thailand were inspired to produce a play of the Trash Hero story book. The kids made their own props, learned their lines and performed it in front of the Thai Deputy Minister for Education when he came to visit their area.

With their teachers, they also made their play into a movie, set on the beach. It was posted on YouTube to inspire other kids to take action on waste! You guys are awesome Trash Heroes!

นักเรียนและคุณครูจากโรงเรียนบ้านดอนตะเคียน อำเภอปะทิว จ.ชุมพร ได้สร้างภาพยนตร์ยอดเยี่ยมเกี่ยวกับนิทาน เรื่อง Trash Hero เพื่อใช้เป็นการศึกษาและรณรงค์ให้ผู้รับชมตระหนักถึงอันตรายจากขยะ และหลีกเลี่ยงการใช้ ถุงพลาสติก ขวด หลอด ขยะอื่นๆ ที่ย่อยสลายยาก และเป็นอันตรายต่อคน สัตว์และสิ่งแวดล้อม
ทั้งเด็กทั้งครูน่ารักมากเลย เชิญชมด้านล่างนี่

The movie is only in Thai language, but even if you don’t speak Thai you can see how well they do 🙂

Since we launched the kids’ book, we have seen so many super cool drawings that children have made after doing cleanups or other activities on the programme.

Here are just a few of the hundreds made by the very active Trash Hero Kids in Chumphon, Thailand.

Trash Hero English Camp

90 kids became Trash Heroes at the TEFL Samui English camp in Thailand last month! Over the 3 – 4 day camp, they learned about plastic pollution and the effects of trash on marine life from the Trash Hero kids book.

They created art from recycled materials, played games and acted out the story from the book in English. You are #awesome!

They wrote messages about keeping their island clean on each one. You are #awesome!
