World Wide Fund for Nature - Pakistan (WWF-Pakistan), in partnership with Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL), held an environmental education activity at a local school here on Thursday.
The activity was conducted under the "Spellathon" campaign of WWF-Pakistan, in which children from schools across Pakistan learn about issues such as sustainability, environment, species and water and sanitation and then compete in a spelling competition. This year's campaign theme is "Energy Conservation", which goes beyond the general concept of electricity being the only energy source.
Officials from SNGPL conducted an awareness raising session for students, which was followed by a prize distribution ceremony. SNGPL officials found the children to be receptive of the message. Ms Sayeda Saleem, the Principal of School of International Studies in Science & Arts said, "Spellathon has become a fun yet focused campaign to bring factual information to children about critical environmental issue."
WWF-Pakistan's Corporate Relations Manager Sania Khan spoke at the occasion and encouraged students to share their learning with their friends and family. She said "children are agents of change. By sharing the message of energy conservation through Spellathon, they are turning their households to efficient use of energy."
