Green Eco Initiative & Day Camp @ The School, Jaya One


It was a fitting end for The School’s My Fin My Life Photography Contest, where students, divers and photographers gathered last week to witness the prize presentation ceremony. I was there at the prize presentation, and it was such a lively affair, with superb photography showcased by the winners. In-conjunction with this event, the Leo Clubs in Selangor were invited too for a day camp at The School.

Miss Jessica Yeoh of Tetap Tiara (M) Sdn Bhd (The School) said, “My Fin My Life is an initiative by WWF-Malaysia to reverse the present scenario of high shark fin consumption in Malaysia by engaging the public and businesses to unanimously pledge not to consume shark fin soup and products. In line with the WWF-Malaysia goals, the School by Jaya One embarked on a creative journey to instill the idea of shark conservation via the love of photography.
