The second TFLSA for year 2015 was done on April 25 within the industrial area and the planting site is situated on the island road of section 26 Shah Alam. There are four species to be planted, are: Bucida molineti, Filicium decipiens, and Senna suratensis.

This time, Sunway University invited few students of Rohingya teenagers. Subject to some news on Rohingya people, I made some discussion with six of the male students. They are friendly and polite. They expressed their happiness to participate on the TFLSA as it refreshes their memories to Saturday school activities. This information impressed me a lot. Back in their country, a nature education is inserted into the school syllabus. I (Kh) investigated in advance whether they learn about the plant and how the subject could enrich them. They (Ro) gave further interesting information about their schools sceneries:
Ro: The school has some open space which we call garden. On the last subject of each Saturday, we work on the garden. We cleaned, collected, and burned the rubbishes. We trimmed and watered the plants. For the new plants, we make planting and we arranged the planting pattern. We beautified the garden by doing painting, renovated the fence, arranged the stones, and many more.
Kh: What plants or tree did you plant?
Ro: Many! We planted a lot of flower or fruit trees.
Kh: How did you get the trees or plants? Did you buy them?
Ro: No. We brought the trees or the plants. For example in my house there are some flower plants. I cut the stems and brought them to school. I brought rose, hibiscus, and jasmine. Often, my Mom who prepared for me. I just brought the prepared materials.
Kh: Amazing. By then, you knew many plants.
Ro1: Yes. It is common for us knowing a lot of plants names. The schools full of flower and fruit trees.
Kh: The schools should be very beautiful!
Ro2: Yes. Most of the schools are very nice and full of flowers.
Kh: For the fruit trees, the schools get them from students also?
Ro3: Yes, We germinate the seed. When it was big enough, we brought it to school to be planted.
Kh: What fruit trees you have. Do you have durian?
Ro4: No… durian is not allowed as well as coconut!

This is our routine. This time we brought four local trees are:Dipterocarpus crinitus, Dryobalanops aromatica, Dryobalanops oblongifolia, and Shorea leprosula.


Jean needs to prepare the holes for these local trees.


Helping hands creates a bond within the community.


More over, it strengthens the already created bond within the individuals.
