My
Journey with Tunza ECO-Generation :
My Journey started in last July
when I read that UNEP and Samsung Engineering provide children and youth with
the beautiful social networking platform where children and youth are able to
upload/update their environmental activities which goes live online after it
has been cleared by the administrator of the platform.
So I find a call for application for the 13th Eco-Generation Ambassador ,
where I applied to be one of them and I am lucky to get selected as one of the
Ambassadors to Yemen for the first time .
Then Since August 2014, I joined this global platform and I started working, learning and interacting with other Ambassadors and member in the platform about different Issues related to the Environment such as Climate change , Green life , Biodiversity, Sustainable consumption and Recycling .
Through this platform we started working together to strengthen young people’s environmental awareness and engage children and youth in environmental issues worldwide.
The
word “TUNZA” means “to treat with care or affection” in Kiswahili (a
sub-regional language of Eastern Africa).
The
overall TUNZA Concept is built around this theme. It is an initiative that is
meant to develop activities in the areas of capacity building, environmental
awareness, and information exchange, with a vision to foster a generation of
environmentally conscious citizens, capable of positive action.
My Journey continue where I have Upload my
articles and reports about different issues and activates related to
environment , I also got an Opportunity to have a friend from all over the
world and learn from their experiences and have a knowledge about the
environmental issues they are facing in their communities.
Tunza Eco-Generationplatform didn't not only improve my skills and knowledge related to my Environmental
activities and Interest, it also helps me a lot to develop the capacity of my
leadership skills and to support me personally and my Organization goals as
well as it will increase my role in the community activities .
Tunza Eco -Generation Team :
Since the first day of
our Involvement, the Team behind this platform are available always near to us,
answering our Inquires, guiding us in our work and responsibilities in the
platform.
Not only they provide us
with logistics information and guidelines, they also provide us with all the
resources, materials and support we need to make an event in our communities .
They provide us with
goods and materials that made it easy to us to plan and organize any event
related to environmental issues .
They also didn't forget
to honor and thanks us for the achievement we did, they always send us their
thanks and honors throughout their souvenir box of gifts and certificates via
their monthly events and quarter competitions .
Finally, through my 3
month experience with them, many things in my life has been changed. I started
applying all the concepts and principles we learn in my daily life and share my
experiences with other In addition to transfer a successful experience I have
seen from other countries and apply them in my country as we all going on the
same path and have one mission that is " to be a change agents in shaping and determining the world we live
in "
I am glad to be part of
it and I am sure within the coming days we still have to work hard to achieve
the goals and mission we take responsibility of it .
