IN conjunction with Universal Children’s Day, around 100 children aged five to 12 years old participated in river education activities at the River of Life’s Masjid Jamek Lookout Point in Kuala Lumpur.

Led by Yayasan Chow Kit (YCK) in partnership with the Global Environmental Centre (GEC) under the River of Life Public Outreach Programme Phase 5 (ROLPOP5), the programme aimed to raise public awareness, especially among the younger generations, on the importance of conserving Sungai Klang and promoting unity.
