Rising Hope Foundation For Change (RHFC) joined the international community in partnership with Students of the Environment Club of GBHS Muea-Buea , Green Earth Foundation
Rising Hope Foundation For Change (RHFC) joined the international community in partnership with Students of the Environment Club of GBHS Muea-Buea , Green Earth Foundation Cameroon (GrEFCam) , Eco Relief , RECESD and the South West Regional Delegation of Environment, Protection of Nature and Sustainable Development to commemorate Earth respectively by planting ornamental, shade and fruit trees. A total of about 300 trees were planted in three Schools at Muea, Buea, Cameroon. This year’s themes were as follows; World Earth Day 2016! Trees for the Earth while World Environment Day celebration theme was “fight against the illegal trade in wildlife for life” (zero tolerance for the illegal trade in wildlife). RHFC was very active during these two environmental events . RHFC used these two international days as the most effective vehicle to build a healthy, sustainable environment, address climate change, wastage and losses of food, deforestation, increasing global warming and protect the Earth for Posterity. It is worth mentioning that, our partner school i.e. the Environment Club of GBHS Muea, won the prize of the best environmental club in the South West Region of Cameroon. At every turn, RHFC works to broaden the definition of “environment” to include issues that affect our health and our communities, such as greening deteriorated schools, creating green jobs and investment, and promoting activism to stop air and water pollution. RHFC used this opportunity to : Raise awareness to the common public about environmental issues. Encourage common people from different society and communities to actively participate in the celebration as well as to become active agents in developing environmental safety measures. Let them know that community people are very essential to inhibit negative changes towards environmental issues. Encourage people to make their nearby surroundings safe and clean to enjoy safer, cleaner and more prosperous future. Let’s take the momentum from the Paris Climate Summit and build on it. Let’s start now. And let’s not stop.
