Kalar Students Learn about International Soil Day

Students in grades 3-5 at Kalar International School, a SABIS^® PPP school, learned about International Soil Day on December 5, 2015. Responsible for organizing this event were the SABIS Student Life Organization^®’s (SLO^®) Social Responsibility Department, in cooperation with the Activities Department and many SLO^® prefects.

To kick off the activity, the SLO^®’s head prefect, who hosted the event, explained International Soil Day to the students and why the day is an important one. After that, a Student Life Coordinator advised the students to protect the soil from pollution.

All the prefects were then thanked for arranging this activity. Then, a staff member informed the students that soil is a rich resource and that as a society, people should protect soil. A few students read their speeches to the audience about keeping soil protected from pollution.

This event was held so students could learn that soil is a critical component of nature and a vital resource contributing to food, water, and energy security.
