TF SCALE
The Temasek Foundation Specialists’ Community Action and Leadership Exchange programme (TF SCALE) welcomed students from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (USSH), Vietnam, in collaboration with Republic Polytechnic to build a Raingarden.
The objective of this overseas service learning trip is to build a Raingarden at a secondary school in a rural area - Long Hua, Can Gio, Vietnam. Besides constructing the Raingarden, our students took this opportunity to educate the locals on its benefits such as improving water catchment, filtering toxins, minimising breeding of mosquitos and reducing surface runoff.
Through this collaborative cultural exchange programme, our students not only acquire leadership skills but also develop valuable friendships with the Vietnamese students.
