Volunteering for the first time with R.U.M. yesterday on Ubin Day, were very sporting Secondary 4 students from Nanyang Girls' High School (NYGH). When the VIPs came to the R.U.M. booth, the young ladies did an awesome mangrove skit to illustrate Ecological Mangrove Restoration and how it allows Mother Nature to do the planting! Bravo!
