I haven't been here in so long. Been so busy!

Today, I skipped school to work on what to present at my interview to hopefully be chosen as one of the 24 PJ Child Councillors. So nervous, but this excites me. I'm so proud of PJ because we are the FIRST city in Malaysia to hold the Children's Forum that MBPJ organised in June last year. We are also the first city to launch the on going goal to become A Child Friendly City and believe me, it's not just about the cleanliness and protection of the children of the city, it goes way beyond this. We are also the first ever city in Malaysia to have a Child Council.

How exciting is that?!

I told myself last year, that I will not let opportunities like this pass me by.

So, I attended the Children's Forum and to be honest, the first one was a little more for the young kiddies. But we,older youth brought this up to MBPJ and suggested to have another forum where it's focus could be more on hearing what we have to say, our suggestions and opinions, and to have consultation among the youths and adults. This one, worked out really well. The idea of a Child Council came from the youth at this very same forum.
And true enough, it's really happening.

I love the fact that I really am seeing the changes and growth in this city. These changes might not be as drastic as I or you would like it to be, but we have to start somewhere. The whole point of sustainable development is to have longevity, to sustain itself throughout the years. And that requires small and steady steps of growth.
In my opinion, we ARE heading in that direction and that's what's important.
