Targets set for FY2011

Comments
A Mobile River Care Unit will be set-up to carry out interactive
exhibitions as well as to provide resources and equipment
to deliver water quality education to schools and communities.
The Mobile River Care Unit (MRCU) was launched in March 2011.
The Foundation will continue with the water quality testing,
solid waste management and biodiversity study to ensure the river
is on the right track to be rehabilitated.
We continue to monitor the water quality of Sungai Way
and conduct biodiversity study on a monthly basis.
The Foundation will continue to educate and train the surrounding
communities – both businesses and residential – to further change
mindsets.
We are currently conducting educational and training sessions
for 10 communities and 6 schools within the Sungai Way basin.
We will continue with the habitat creation practice.
We completed the implementation of the “River within River”
concept which helped enhance the biodiversity of Sungai Way,
thus transforming the river from a “dead” river into a “living” river
with aquatic flora and fauna.
We will hold a River Carnival in FY2011
We decided not to hold a River Carnival in FY2011. We held the JPS
training seminar to train JPS officials on how to use the handbook
instead.
Sungai Pinang Project
GAB Foundation is working with Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran (JPS)
Penang to educate the surrounding community, including schools
and residents, on conserving the environment and our rivers.
The Foundation engaged and educated 8 schools and 13 communities
within the Sungai Pinang basin under the ‘One State One River
Programme’ of JPS Penang in FY2011. The training sessions,
consisting of theory and practical lessons on river rehabilitation
and management, were conducted in July and October 2010.
Storytime with GABBY
The Foundation has set up a GABBY club to continuously
engage the children who have undergone the session.
We decided not to proceed with this project as it was not sustainable.
The funds allocated were channelled to other projects.
