Mission to be Continue...

‘Ring A Life’ campaign had finally ended gracefully.  I am very happy to be able to work with the turtle bot for the event. During the event, the process is very challenging but at the same time it was also an opportunity given to me to learn more about the subject matter and myself.

I’m one of the members in logistic department. At first, we have been received an order and task to build a new recycle bin for electronic gadgets such as tablets, laptops and others computer accessories. Previously, Microsoft has only pledged to donate 1USD for each phone collected only, but this year Microsoft will SAVE a turtle in beneficiary to WWF Malaysia to support their turtle conservation project with every phone, laptop and tablets devices collected. The range of the collection has been increased, and it makes us have higher chances to "Ring" more lives!  It also makes extra difficulties and challenges for logistic department to build another big bin to place bigger size of gadgets. 

Working towards a better future for turtles. 

Due to the theme of this recycle campaign, we have to use environmental friendly materials and tools instead of using polystyrene which unable to recycle. The recycle bin needs to be big enough to place big size of electronic gadgets and most importantly we need to ensure the stability of the bin and security problems. After long process of discussion and consideration with others logistic department members, we came out a better idea and solution.

 After few days’ effort and amendment, we have finally created bigger recycle bin by using Recycle wood from previous event.

Finally, after 3 days event, we have achieved our target and high achievement total 1346 devices collected. Even actual events have ended gracefully, however turtle conservation project never end by just like this. The mission of saving turtles still ongoing, therefore we are still encouraging public to donate their old electronic gadgets. The recycle bins have been place at Block Q besides the water dispenses area. Students and staff are welcome to drop any of their old phone and electronic gadgets. Turtlebots mission never end! Let’s continue Ring a Life. Connecting lives, Transforming Lives.

The logistic team members and behind the end product, Hard work paid off.
